    Man, the US is a total mess. Why does Texas have a separate power grid? If the US invested in renewables and energy infrastructure they would easily become the #1 renewable energy producer in the world. They have so many ideal geographical features it’s absolutely crazy how much they’re going to waste.

      Ironically, I seen the claim that the original reason was because the US grid was outdated and Texas wanted to do better. Probably back when people who called themselves “conservatives” actually cared at little bit about conserving the environment (at least in some self-interested ways). Of course it didn’t work out that way.

      No clue why the rest of the US is divided into two grids.
