Certainly. My point was that (perhaps) the grid in actuality has reliability issues, and the reason I thought that might be true is because of its current reputation.

As stated, there's nothing to be confused about. You'd want to build new fabs in Texas for the same reason you want to buy stocks while they're down rather than while they're up.
The reputation only matters if you're trying to sell your new fab to someone else. If you want to use it yourself, what matters is the reality.
