Trying to tell this to Reddit right now. Working as well as you'd expect. I would have just cranked up the juice and paid the fine later, unless DOE + EPA have the key to do such a thing.
People are also saying "Texas wasn't connected to power grids outside the state." Turns out yes they were. To the east and to Mexico.
I think people confuse it with the fact that Texas can totally isolate themselves if they need to from the other grids. At least that is what I recall about their system. Something about specific interlinks they can disable at will.

Amazing how the news just gets something so wrong at first.
