In a truly free market, Texas would have simply received power production from nearby states that were connected into their grid.

This isn't a free-market situation because the state has gone to great lengths to keep this power system isolated.

The other states that were struggling with blackouts? No. Being on the same grid wouldn’t have solved this, as far as I can tell.
