Remember when there was thousands of homes in a few counties that lost power during the ice storm in Texas a few weeks ago, and so many people were quick to publicly shame and blame the Texas power grid, the Governor, and the power companies, while also saying that wouldn't happen in their state because their power grid is so much better?
To be clear, I was one the Texans without power for 3 days during the record breaking blizzard in 2021 that showed how badly unprepared our power grid was then, and I don't wish that on anyone. I also know the outages from a few weeks ago were all caused by frozen tree limbs or whole trees falling on local power lines, which is probably most of what's happening in the areas affected now.
My only point is that I'm wondering why haven't we heard everyone criticizing their governors and power grids now?
