We don’t have a national grid. We have multiple grids sync’d together while Texas due to its size has ERCOT.I’ll bite.

Not sure that downed power lines can provide electricity, regardless of which grid they're attached to.
But maybe that's just because I don't believe hard enough in Tesla's Tower & other wireless transmission theories.

Interesting nugget if you would have actually read the first part of the link you sent it clearly states that.I’ll bite.

Yes I can read. Texas is being retarded and “going on its own” and not connecting to other states. The effect is the exact same.
That’s worked for so well for them in the recent past, too.

Once again, if you read the article you sent it clearly states ERCOT is tied to the sync grid. NPPD directly sold power to ERCOT during 2021 and OPPD agreed to purchase less power so it could be sent south while keeping congestion off the grid. This isn’t new. ERCOT has been around since the 70s. You’re talking to someone works in transmission and distribution. What you are claiming is 100% not correct.Yes I can read.

Crazy to think we've lost @Jim14510, @HuskerGarrett, & @lee_carvallo_12 all just within the last few months.

This feels more harrowing than that time you went blind (and probably gay) in central America

And everyone knows that we have a national grid.
It's a shitty power company in NY/MA that doesn't care whether you live or die or how many times they try to cash the check you used to pay your bill

If I can survive HTO trying to find out where I live and work so he could murder me, I can survive a 4+ day power outage.

So explain to me how this power grid is so great at handling a cold snap that killed 700+ people back in 2021? Oh, it’s designed that way to avoid federal regulations and can only draw a very limited about of power from out of state sources.
To be fair it was a hell of a cold snap that would have unfortunately cost lives regardless but if TX wasn’t so goddamn stubborn less people would have died.
All for ideological purposes and money - $16B in unnecessary charges thanks to that spike in wholesale prices.
The bolded part is what seriously pisses me off.
