Texas could connect to national power grids without losing autonomy, former grid regulator says
Texas has long refused to connect its decentralized grid to two national power networks, but Hunt Energy Network CEO Pat Wood said the state could do so without additional oversight — and without state Legislature approval.

"...According to an analysis by the American Council on Renewable Energy, each additional gigawatt of transmission capacity connecting the Texas power grid with neighboring states could have saved nearly $1 billion and prevented blackouts in around 200,000 Texas homes during Winter Storm Uri last year."
...Wood’s assertion that Texas would maintain autonomy over its grid if it connected to the national network contrasts with other comments from state officials who have suggested the opposite, including former Texas Gov. Rick Perry.
Perry, who presided over the early days of energy deregulation in Texas, suggested in a blog post published on the tail end of last year’s winter storm on the website of U.S. House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy that the state’s denizens would prefer a prolonged blackout over federal regulators requiring changes to the system.,,"
Deliberately interrupting petroleum refinery operations and level of output because such bullshit plays well with radicalized primary voters.
