    It will be even worse than before. Texas hasn't added any power generating capacity outside of the devil that is solar and wind. Solar and wind are the only reasons we haven't seen the rolling blackouts for a few years now. Texas is even trying to make it harder to add more solar and wind, so it will strain even more.
