How about letting us Texans have more natural gas power plants or even let the gas be delivered to the plants we have so they can provide more power in an emergency.

CNN reports that some natural gas and oil plants as well as one nuclear plant have gone offline because the water source they depend on froze.

"Natural gas and coal-fired power plants need water to stay online. Yet those water facilities froze in the cold temperatures"
