You do realize how much worse blackouts in CA are, right? TX never even experienced a full grid collapse like CA; CA has planned blackouts based on how dry the forests are, because power companies aren't allowed to trim nearby trees.
I don't mean to get personal but this is a really ill-informed opinion. Texas has to deal with hurricanes and legitimate weather events, CA has invented problems that cause blackouts at the expense of CA taxpayers; meanwhile CA pays 2-3x for the same power. It's really not a good comparison, CA has a famously mismanaged electric grid
87 people died in the 2018 CA outage, and PG&E was eventually charged with 117 counts of involuntary manslaughter. Nobody died due to power outages in Texas during the freeze, and the power companies were not charged with any counts of involuntary manslaughter.
In 2024, there were no deaths due to power outages in CA or in TX.
That said, comparing natural disaster deaths is a stupid way to measure the success or failure of a power grid. Success should be determined by factors like uptime or cost.
Why don't you look up the uptime and cost of the Texas grid vs the CA grid in 2024?
