Re: Lots of places gets as cold as Texas ...
Big open spaces are subject to a variety of extreme weather events. You are correct that it gets really hot there, but because it has no shielding from winds, it can turn cold fast. You are implying that this type of weather is completely unexpected in Texas. That's not true. The state receives cold weather and snow with some frequency. Unfortunately for them, they live in a place where you can get very hot and somewhat cold weather in the same place and they have to prepare for that. They could prepare by having generation equipment which could withstand those conditions or they could prepare by importing energy from elsewhere, but they chose to do neither of those things.
