Power Crisis Challenged But Didn’t Quash “Texit” Idea By Sabra Ayres Texas SHARE TEXAS — Last month, the Lone Star State’s go-it-alone bravado was challenged when the state’s independent power grid failed during an unusually cold winter storm, leaving millions without power, heat, and water. More than 70 deaths have been linked to the storm, and tens of thousands of Texans are still without running water, three weeks after the snow melted. One would think Gov. Greg Abbott’s request for help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency would be enough of a humbling to quash any notion of Texas’ ability to break off from the United States, a call that has now become a nearly annual event.
