Well stated. But that is the goal widely pushed by DC and Wall Street. And I believe they would happily shut down the Texas grid and do a black start. Probably taking advantage of a black out condition in Texas after a storm, or some such. They couldn’t care less how it affects people. One, they get the wonderful fun of managing what they call an emergency situation, too, they achieve their goal. Good details you provided there.
One thing for certain. Before centralization of electricity markets in Texas and solar and windmills. Power outages were unknown in Texas unless a storm physically took the lines down. In the 60s and 70s, there was no such thing as a power outage unless there was physical damage. As in, “it’s flooding down in Texas and the powerlines are down “.
The population density in TX was much lower in the 60’s & 70’s.
