We have! In 2021, we had a giant winter storm, something that knocked out power for millions. Only 67,000 Texans were affected, even though we were hit hard.

If we have, then why are we still getting warnings about curtailing our power use? Sounds to me like we’ve still got a ways to go.

I’m not sure if you’re serious or not. The 2021 winter storm knocked out the power to 4.5 MILLION homes in Texas…
