        Texas is the only US state that I have seen with a power grid that seems to fail exactly when it’s needed most

      I had no power for 5 days in the last ice storm. Luckily I still had gas, which mean warm water and showers, as well as the ability to cook on my gas stove.

        but you should not of had to. had texas maintained and upgraded their grid it wouldve handled the cold just fine.

          That’s all fine and dandy but I don’t have control over what Texas power companies do.

          Getting rid of gas, just because, is dumb imho

            people dont want to get rid of gas stoves “just because”. people want to get rid of gas stoves because they are linked to causing health issues and help to global warming.
