Yeah I still don’t understand this one. They separated their states power from the rest of the power grid because… liberal hate? That doesn’t add up to me but then what little I know of Texas never adds up. Outside of some owning the libs rhetoric what the fuck reason did they do that for??

supposedly, it's because Texas wants to be as independent as possible various articles I've found tend to agree. Also because fuck federal regulations I guess. I dunno, fuck Texas.
