I keep thinking, that from an engineering standpoint, maybe it's better to look at:
What went right?
Look at all the processes that worked, and continued to work in spite of high demand and stress. Those are the systems that should be studied, copied, and understood.

It's better to fix what failed (everything from "use winterized oil for wind turbines" to "insulate above ground pipes" to "better granularity on local power grids" to "better insulation for homes" to "don't have steam turbines at nuclear power plants in the outside air"). Basically TX doesn't required electricity generators to cold-proof their assets so they fail. That's the low regulation low cost route.
