I’ve lived in both places and if you think not having power during a week of sub 20 degree temps compares to not having power when it is 40-60 degress outside then I guess we have different ideas of what is better.

There's 48 other states who all have their electricity infrastructure more or less together.

Here in Maine we experience the weather Texas had basically bi-weekly in normal winters (it's been very mild the past few years) and IF your power goes out, it's back on in 4 hours, 20 if it's a particularly bad storm and you are a low priority area. Meanwhile the wind turbines up north will happily keep spinning, and at no point has generation failed.
