    Imagine if they had done something like united the grid under the state government and upgraded the lines as part of an overall infrastructure law?

    Oh wait, it’s Texas.

        Texas had no problem gladly accepting $60 mil from the Federal Government recently for energy infrastructure either:

    Inefficiencies, lack of proactive planning, rampant price gouging… sounds like Texas infrastructure.
