Lol. When power failures are caused by storm damage having available power from elsewhere is pointless. It has to go through the same transmission lines.

The Texas ice storm was not a problem with lines being down. It was a problem with not enough power to put into the lines and them having to selectively shut down areas because the solar, the windmills, and the gas plants could not operate. The gas plants were taken down because the pipelines require electricity at the pipeline pumping stations.
Texas decided to tear down it’s coal planned infrastructure

I’ve lived in Houston over 40 years & that was one of the strangest storms I’ve ever seen.
