What they need is more brains. The cold spell in 2011 should have told them that there grid was inadequate to handle a long freeze. But they did nothing, and the inevitable happened. At the same time as some of their mills were freezing up, the mills in the Dakotas, where it was far colder for longer, were doing just fine. Why was that? Couldn't be because "Conservatives" are just too damned stupid to consider what the future might bring? El Paso, which is not on the Texas grid, had no power outages. Yes, they do need more green energy. And some people in government with enough brains to realize that you need to prepare the grid for winter even in Texas.

How would more brains prevent the floods in China?
You said they needed more green energy. I replied speaking about the February freeze in Texas. As for China needing more green energy, you really don't have to tell the Chinese that. They are installing wind mills and solar farms as quickly as they can. More energy might not prevent floods, but it sure helps during reconstruction.
