OMG yeah :(  it's...just awful. And not just placing it where it should, or if it's just basic physics, but then not going back to invest in more robust redundancies. A future tech forum I also follow has said Elon Musk as him and not CEO, might be able to get homes  batteries, possible the powerwalls.  Or large insulated batteries so that homes  freezing the worst can get heat and saftey while gaslines get defrosted.

Yeah, and apparently, there's a mostly false meme that wind turbines are to blame. But most of the shortfall in power is due to failing natural gas and coal plants. Again, I have no knowledge of the details. Care is warranted when thinking about where to apply blame. And it doesn't really matter who's to blame while people are still suffering. Trouble is, by the time the emergency's over, nobody'll take the time do the post-mortem and apply blame appropriately. We'll all go back to ogling people on Instagram. [sigh]
