    Let me guess, The only state with its own power grid?

      I don’t think vermont is on its own grid? We import a substantial amount of electricity from Quebec hydropower and most of our electricity is from renewable sources including our own hydropower, solar and wind.

      Our grid goes down because trees fall on it.

        That was a jab at Texas I believe.

        We often have power availability issues because it’s detached from the grid and neglected for several years.

          I thought so. But power issues can happen anywhere in extreme weather especially if lines aren’t buried.

          What my state and Texas have in common is we were both at once time independent republics before we joined the union. And my states pre USA independence lasted longer than the confederacy!
