You didn't show an increasing rate. We were discussing grid failures, of in which there have been two in 50 years, both caused by an extreme period of low temps. We can talk about weather events and localized incidents. It's really boring the moment we adjust for size or even per capita.

You are right. I mixed up a few different threads to this post, between purely 'winter outages', 'total demand', 'general climate'. I also didn't check if the article I cited was per-capita or not, or even per-Total Area, or something. If it wasn't, and since Texas is bigger, then that un-fairly tilts the numbers. And of course, with any numbers this year, almost all replies are 'it's el-nino'. And that is true. So guess we step back and wait another few years for a more compelling trend? See if everything really does average out next year.
