That's because they got hit by an extremely rare ice storm they weren't adequately prepared for. It really had nothing to do with having more/less renewable ene

  I didn't say it had anything to do with renewable energy, just that they had less reliable power production. And no, it had little to do with that storm, Texas face power problems almost every year. It is systemic, and largely due to politics of them cutting themselves off from other grids and how their energy sector works. Europe is way more robust since the net is extremely well connected between countries, and I don't think that factories can buy up all available electricity like they did in Texas causing power outages for homes. Rather Europe would shut down the factories and let people have electricity in their homes. Homes losing power for a few days is a huge problem, factories shutting down for a few days isn't a big deal.

    Ok sorry I misunderstood your comment. I thought you were blaming it completely on not having enough renewables.
