Nobody cares about how cheap the power is when they’re risking their health and possibly their lives.

Outside of two events in recent memory Texas also doesn't have rolling blackouts or brownouts; they are simply unheard of.

  Not sure your point was clear enough. Let me paraphrase it, to help out. "Except for a couple of failures, we don't have failures".

    It's perfectly clear.

        Per capita, it seems like Texas is doing a lot better than other states. > Of the 1,542 weather-related outages documented in the U.S. over the study's 20-year analysis, 180 were in Texas. Michigan ranked second with 132 and California third with 129.

        Did you calculate it per-capita? I took from the study that, the rate of outages is going up for the entire country. The total is trending up. But we can't really pile on Texas for being worse. Its just that Texas is also increasing, but at same rate as everyone else. We can't pile on Texas for getting worse faster, they are getting worse in line with everyone else.

        Not then, but I will now: Texas population: 29.53 million Michigan population: 10.05 million California population: 39.24 million 180 / 29.53 = 6.09 events per million people 132 / 10.05 = 13.1 events per million people 129 / 39.24 = 3.29 events per million people It could be worse for other states, but I'm not going to dig for the numbers on my phone. If you do, please post your calculations.
