Unpopular opinion: This is bait to get people on-board with Texas being added to the national power grid, instead of remaining independent.

Yeah you won't get that happening when importing power from other states is impossible on the current interconnects since there's no power on them too, Texas isn't the only state experiencing outages, it's just unique in ERCOT dropping the ball for proper rolling blackouts.

The state is outright exporting power LMAO.

Oh you may be right, but it’s still very little power and really only slight amounts are being imported.

So that everyone can suffer equally? I don't see any kind of attractive sales pitch here...

What exactly is the "national" power grid? Each region has its own RTO/ISO that control the area separate from other areas.

Here is a map of the regions: https://www.energyfreedomco.org/figs/rto_map2.gif
