You aren’t commenting from a position of knowledge.

There has been a lot of immigration, but the solar and wind in combination with no winterizing of existing lines led to this. As I’ve stated in another article, we do just fine up in the north.

Thanx.
My daughter lives in Wichita Falls. She didn't lose power when others around her did.
why? who knows.
Her house became the local warming shelter.
Having lived in our winters, she knew stuff to do...turn on spigots and trickle water among other things.
What she has related is, older Texas homes weren't built for this kind of weather.
No insulation in the walls no insulation of the pipes etc...

In looking at the grid map during the storms\super freeze(s), it seems the panhandle and west texas didn't experience outages...I wonder why? and whatever they've done, can it, or should it be implemented in other areas of the state?
