The problem for Texas right now is very unusual cold temperatures coupled with electric generation choices made over the years. Texas has reached the point where 25% of their power is derived from wind turbines. Those turbines are frozen up and deicing just cannot keep up. Pair this with the unusually high demand due to temperatures and Bob's your uncle.
