The Texas electrical grid is great. It had one rough event that has been echoed all throughout the internet endlessly because the left thinks it is a dunk on a red state.

That is false. As a life long texan the grid gets dicey with rolling blackouts every summer and the occasional shutdown every winter.
In fact hundreds of thousands of Houstonians lost power for extended periods just last month.

What? I'm also a lifelong Texan and have experienced rolling blackouts once: during 2021.

You mean after a massive storm with 100 mph winds destroyed infrastructure and flooded the city?

I don't know either of you and I'm not trying to assert either of you is correct or incorrect but it's worth remembering how insanely large your state is. It'd take 11hrs to drive from Houston to El Paso and Texas contains most of the different climates we're all familiar with.
To some degree, saying "As a life long Texan" then trying to generalize the "Texas Experience" to be your own is as incorrect as saying "As an American, there are mountains everywhere and it's green and beautiful".

It had more than one failure. Just this century, winter weather caused issues in 2003, 2006, 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2021

I lived through a continuous 43 hours of absolutely no power resulting in living with 40°F indoor temperatures, so you can GTFO with your pernicious and reprehensible propaganda.
