I appreciate the thought. Texas learned a lot after the winter storm of 2021. ERCOT (the organization that controls our electrical grid) has been revamped and new procedures and additional capacity has been added. Also, more technology has been added to gas transportation systems to keep them from freezing. The biggest threat is above ground power distribution systems. The ice can bring them down.
This has not been bad except you cannot get around. Stuck at home. Tomorrow the temps will get above freezing here and everything will thaw quickly.
Everyone learns from mistakes. And change
brings circumstances not prepared for.
So I don't fault Texas for the outage due to
extreme weather....the first time.
The southwest is learning about extended droughts.
The northeast is learning about hurricanes.
And the upper midwest....we're lucky...we've nothing
we need to learn. As bad as we are, it's good enuf.
