For so many years we all heard Texans bragging about having their own power grid to themselves. Now they are discovering they may not have thought things through. Like most grids, they need to spend a lot of money to prop up, and have a robust power grid.

We have been fortunate here in Oklahoma to have OG&E as the power company for most of the state. They have done a great job of providing stable power, and having the resources to to fix storm damage in a very timely manner. They often send crews out to other areas after storms to help them.

During the big freeze in 2021 we hit sub zero for days on end and had an ice storm thrown it to boot. Our power never was off for a second. We had a few blinks, but never a full loss of power.
