Your comment was all cute and snarky but the Houston flood was from a 500 year weather event, i.e. a category 5 hurricane staying stationary at the coast for 5 days, dumping 50+ inches of rain, and the grid event was from a 100 year record low cold snap.

And when the next 500 year event hits Houston or the next 100 year record low hits an independent Texas then who will you go whining to for the financial bailout?

The Republic of Texas produces almost 1/2 of all the oil and gas produced in the United States.

We won’t have to whine to anyone. Well just sell our oil and natural gas to states like Missouri marked up for what we need.

Texas Oil Production in 2020: 1,782,009

Missouri Oil Production in 2020: 75
