Texas has always had energy problems. I remember rolling brownouts in the early 90s when there were some fairly nasty winters. The real problem is the second Texas deregulated it became a free-for-all and ERCOT gives no fucks about people dying of heat strokes in their homes. Come to think of it AEP and other assorted power companies in the north don't care about people freezing in their homes either.
It's all about money but muh Texas and freedumb.

This and I attribute it to people becoming dependent on AC and electric/gas heat instead of hydration/old school fans and wood stoves in the winter.
