Yeah I saw the other day that 70% of the failed power in Texas was gas, not wind or solar. And then I saw this morning that ERCOT was going "dudes don't use your air conditioning or the whole grid will collapse" and that sure looked like a Tragedy of the Commons problem if ever I saw one. Fuckin' use up all the power before your neighbors do, at least you can think back to this morning when you could stick your head in the ice box without worrying about your otterpops melting. Good luck.
