They (bolsheviks) did this on purpose to bring Texas to its knees.

If EVERY state had at least one nuclear power plant, every state would be independent from the national power grid.

Does the national grid even fucking matter? You can't pipe electricity hundreds of miles without huge efficiency losses, nobody has the spare capacity to power Houston, and half of the power outages are because lines are down anyway.

I wholeheartedly believe EVERY house should have the following:

A small windmill A solar panel array & A wood-burning stove

A wood burning stove requires a shitload of space and considerable construction requirements that 99% of people are not going to tolerate.
