The story on Texas Power Outages - disappointed
While I love this show, I was disappointed about the lack of understanding in regards to the power system in Texas. Power systems can be readily designed to meet most unlikely outcome requirements. The way hydropower is designed is a good example for this. However, it requires coordinated planning and pricing. In the Texas case no such planning has taken place leaving the transmission grid willfully unequipped and the consumer on the loosing end. Climate change is not the reason why the system has failed - its those who are responsible for planning that have failed the people of Texas. Countries other than the US seem to be able to cope with even lower temperatures (Norway, South Korea) - because their grids are being properly planned and priced.
