So what happens when you guys get blackouts every summer?
California has not had summer blackouts in 20 years since Enron and other Texas energy companies did a criminal conspiracy to idle power plants and drive the price through the roof.
Texas still has summer and winter blackouts.
Literally the first result

Those are local outages due to trees causing downed lines, squirrels getting into transformers, motor vehicle accidents, etc. They aren't the same as the blackouts like you get from an overloaded or strained power grid like they have in Texas.
You know what? If you believe that, you can continue believing it. Don't need any more.
Exactly, keep believing what you experienced for 20 years actually happened
