Isn't the Texas grid infamously pretty awful? Like wasn't there a whole thing a while back where it got a bit chillier than usual and it became a statewide emergency which left millions without power?
Yes, in that it is horribly dated, maintained, and responsible for the death of many Texans due to legislature/company greed. But that is also true for most infrastructure in the states, just look at California's power lines.
