> but the data is not nearly as grim as the media seems to imply 1. That's not "data" 2. What you need to make a judgment on is whether Texas is positioned well to handle a tail event, not how it handles the odds and ends of unexceptional power outages that dominate graphs like that. The families of the hundreds who died last winter probably have some opinions about how well Texas handled the last event, handling which was extremely bad and closer than anyone would have liked to power grid "Mad Max." It's a question of how much they've improved.
