So many crazy posts like yours...
As others have said, why did Texas have so many problems when it got cold?
Taking our infra, designed for your temps and stating "others should have this too" doesn't make sense.
I live just outside Toronto (Ontario). When you were struggling with a brief cold snap which cost 246 lives because it was -19C, large and heavily populated parts of Canada faced -40C and no one died?
"Texas was not winterized, leaving it vulnerable to extended periods of cold weather, leading to widespread power outages"
why wasn't it winterized?
Because statistics show it was a controlled gamble NOT do to this. UK airport is the same deal.
They could use different (and more expensive) materials, but they gambled it wouldn't be needed, much as why Texas didn't winterize the equipment.
