Imagine if Texas didn't hate it's residents enough that they allowed their state electricity grid finally connect to other states utility grids so this wasn't a problem and it reduced prices for the people in Texas (and even prevented deaths from recent strains during extreme weather)!
It's better to let people suffer than to harm that Lone-Star-Don't-Mess-With-Texas" pride.
It takes a real MANS man to let people die for the sake of your ego.
This is the state whose Lieutenant Governor said grandparents aren't afraid to die for the economy.
We shouldn't be surprised.
