This is a pretty weak argument. I am not sure how the grid was supposed to prepare for the most recent storm.
I've seen the headlines, I was asking for clarification on what made those different. I do think "storm preparedness" is not a category that should be excluded from consideration given their occurrence is also systemic (and may increase due to climate change), but I'm also open to how these outages differ from more systemic outages. The difference that makes sense to me is that federal regulations - the topic at play here - wouldn't have impacted these situations at all. Makes sense.
No, but perhaps you can have better plans for responding to such events, different staffing practices, temporary measures of some sort, etc.
