No need to fix it: the windmills froze and the green power grid is down.

Texas went green and was not allowed/couldn't use legacy power in a 2021 winter storm.

People died:

One year later, many question the 'official' number of deaths linked to the Texas blackout

It’s been a year since millions of Texans woke up to find their power cut during the freezing cold. What followed were days without heat, electricity or water. Hundreds did not survive. But, on the anniversary of what became the worst blackout in Texas history, some say many of those who died have yet to be officially recognized.

On Dec. 31, the state’s Department of Health and Human Services released its final report placing the number of dead at 246.

Long before the state released its report, though, others had put the death toll much higher. A study by Buzzfeed News looking at “excess mortality” during the crisis, found that 702 more Texans died during the blackout and freeze than statistically would have been expected to die in that timeframe.

Now, a new estimate by a statistician who advised Buzzfeed on its initial study puts the number even higher: 814.
