@noondlyt@mastodon.social @kims@mas.to One could've also considered investing in a modern and resilient energy grid, better energy reserve capacities, and notably government-subsidised loan programmes to incentivise energy efficiency and insulation of homes and buildings. Just think about it: in 2022, ~31 million Texans consumed 475 TWh on electricity. In France, which has more than twice the population, it was 455 TWh and for Germany (84 million inhabitants) 484 TWh.
