Narrative:

I love watching the far left mainstream writing about facts learned with regard to EVs, wind, solar energy now that we've seen the Texas experience. 

If there are energy shortages in North Dakota it is because the state is on the Western States Power (WSP) grid and cannot control when power is sold to other states. Texas, on the other hand, is on its own with ERCOT, a choice made by the state. They are not allowed to buy energy from other states.
