No, I wouldn't, because I'm talking about the very recent decision to not winterize the Texas grid, even though all of the data presented pointed to the fact it would be a very good idea to winterize it.
Specifically the Texas grid is what I'm talking about, I care not about anything else you may feel the need to refer to
1) Quite a motte and bailey maneuver you're pulling here, given the broad scope of your earlier comments.
2) Merely saying "it could have been different" is not an argument, unfortunately. What you refer to was 10 years ago, when the TX legislature made the decision to recommend electric grids be made more weather-resistant, instead of requiring it. Many electric cos did those upgrades. Most people would consider that actually a pretty good outcome given that this is a one-in-a-decade type of event.

You're accusing me of not knowing what I was referring to when I posted something.
Both the parent, and grandparent, of which I replied to, are mentioning Texas. Grandparent, broadly, parent, much more specifically. With the recent cold snap in Texas, I presume all context is there to make it clear I was speaking of Texas, specifically.
Anyways - 10 years... yeah, that is well within the realm of what I'm talking about. If it were say, more than 25 years ago when it was highly recommended to winterize grids, perhaps I would relent.
I hope you do not venture into local/state politics, because your type of thinking is how these bad things happen.
