Sorry to put an end to your little political wanking session, but the tweet is nothing more than virtue signalling as there is no possible way for California to transmit excess their power to Texas or any of the states to the east of Texas for that matter.

I don't know, but conserving power in California definitely isn't going to magically fix local power grids in texas that are down due to weather conditions. That's the dumbest shit I've heard all day

Texas wanted to avoid federal regulations, so they created their own grid. The blizzard caused that decision to blow up in their face. They want federal help now.

I wouldnt say poor. Snow storms like this in TX doeasnt happen often so improving the infrastructure so it doeasnt happen again should be simple enough.

I thought the problem was with the Southwest anyway. That looks like it is in the same grid, so maybe they just wrote the wrong thing. Im in the northern part of the southwest and the weather is already going back toward normal(ish), so I figure the snow will melt soon in the places that its usually warm.

It was in the negatives the other morning... when does Texas ever get that cold? Never. So obviously we're not prepared for this. I think the ones having the most issue are the "H-Town" and Austin fools down south. DFW area isn't really experiencing many blackouts, mostly businesses. Residential areas are actually doing well. The last few days all I hear are ATVs and people sledding around out on the streets.

Well it is part of Texas which is one of the areas they are supposedly trying to help out. According to that map they can help small parts of South Dakota and Nebraska too in the midwest. As for the Southeast, no idea.
