Yeah the lesson is don't run 23% of your grid off wind power. Some coal and gas plants failed but not nearly 100% of them like their wind turbines which are much much harder to winterize and much less efficient afterwards. They still would have had an energy shortage but a much less severe one. Also they should have ignored Bidens EO which declared that if they had to produce emergency power and go over the "EPA" pollution caps doing so the federal government would charge them $1500 per megawatt/hour. They should probably secede.

Obama shut down dozens of coal-fired power plants in Texas during his term. That's the basis of the problem -- not enough coal energy for backup.
