What happened in Texas was Sum of all fears. Every type of energy production failed, and entire state from Dalhart to Del Rio were under winter storm at the same time.
The core issue is whether to winterize the infrastructure or not, in 2011 North Texas was effected by rest of the state did not have to endure cold front, that was thought to be once a generation thing. (Remember the cold snow superbowl in DFW in 2011?).
- zero_deg_kevin 5y agoWhat happened in Texas was the sum of all of its past elections and policy decisions. Texas has the government that it wants and rightfully deserves and I’m not about to interfere with that.

- ovi256 5y agoWith those unusually severe storms covering such a huge area, I don't think it's safe to say any US or EU state would have done better that Texas. Heck, once energy distribution fails because cables have broken, even no-fuel-input needed for the duration of the storm plants like nuclear can't supply consumers.
