      We have! In 2021, we had a giant winter storm, something that knocked out power for millions. Only 67,000 Texans were affected, even though we were hit hard.

        If we have, then why are we still getting warnings about curtailing our power use? Sounds to me like we’ve still got a ways to go.

          Was one of them. Left Texas this year and gotta say that except for that 2021 debacle where we lived had more stable power w ERCOT than where we live now in another state.
