But the grid only failed that 1 time in a storm that nobody could predict. I understand it should have been better, but everything past that storm in 2021 has been heavily sensationalized.

Even in the latest storm the grid had held up better than many northern states, yet the headlines are focusing almost exclusively on the very, very tiny percentage of Texans that list power on this storm

Out of the 1.6 million people that have lost power during this cold front, only 63,000 were Texans.

It's sick when a completely avoidable disaster happens in another state and reddit always comes together and is so sad for those poor people affected. But then Texas in 2021 experiences colder temps than Antarctica in a region that 24 hours prior was at 85° and the majority of people that were affected were the under privileged, yet reddit was applauding their deaths and cheering for more to die. Sick bastards, the lot of you
