Right but my intended point was, Texas is generally better off than the rest of the United States as far as their grid because the companies have much tighter, digital, control over the grid and don't have to worry about being tied into their neighbors which not only lets them get back up and running from 'normal' outages much quicker but they can also have a much larger impact when they do upgrades compared to the rest of the United States.
