Big government sucks so Texas is on their own as Archie wrote. Here is a brief summary of the problem when you are RED and feel you are better than the rest of the USA.

Compounding the issue is that Texas's electric system of ERCOT is isolated from the rest of the country, partly as a way to avoid federal regulation. So it cannot simply import power from elsewhere to make up for the shortage.

Texas produces more power than any other state. Here's why it went dark anyway

"When it comes to electricity, what happens in Texas stays in Texas," said Dan Cohan, associate professor of environmental engineering at Rice University. "That has really come back to bite us."
