Pretty sure I've made this comment before but one of the main reasons Texas runs its own grid is to avoid the need to meet federal regulations, which ironically and also unsurprisingly, contain winterization guidelines.

I did not know that! Very interesting! Although, I do think that having some differentiation makes sense.

For example, I'm sure Vermont's winterization needs would look very different than Texas'.
