Native Texan here. We never had grid issues here until about 2015. That February storm was freakishly cold for Texas . It just doesn't hit -5 here. Couple that with power plants built to stay cool in 105 degree heat and a state that thinks "regulation" is a four letter word and an influx of migrants from everywhere else's in Country and, yeah, things got sideways.

Still so excited me and.ny wife have accepted jobs in Vermont! Personally, I am done with the heat. I enjoy the cold. Im not to keen on paying for it. I see there are some high performance heat pumps on the market now. I wonder what kind of high efficiency boiler solutions there are.
