> stormy electricity grid

For me (living in Europe), stable 220V 50Gz from any wall socket is one of the traits of civilization, like potable water tap and flush toilets. "Stormy grid" is something from a rural village lifestyle, with a water well and a cold basement to keep winter food supply. Is it really that huge problem in parts of US?



There were a couple of large scale very long outages in Texas due to very bad weather in the last few years that made the news even on this side of the Atlantic.
