So the national news is also running storires about the national powers grids in light (pun intended) of the Big Blackout of 2003.
There is the eastern grid, composed of states east of the Rockies.
There is the western grid, composed of states west of the Rockies.
And then there is Texas, with its own power grid.
So why is Texas on its own?
Because nobody wants to share with Texas? Because Texas doesn’t want to share with anyone else?
I know that doesn’t help.
I could be mistaken, but I believe Texas is that state with which one does not mess.
That includes the power grid.
I am in El Paso, and we are mainly hooked into the western power grid. In pretty much every other aspect we are sort of outside “Texas proper” and this is no different :).
Well, it isn’t so much that we are asking you not to mess with Texas, it is that we are making it more difficult to do by having our own power system.
No more screwing us by way of Louisiana…
