Your position is that everyone should have generators instead of having infrastructure that doesn't require everyone to have generators?

Some people have generators no matter what, but it seems a stretch to think you can't rely on your energy infrastructure a bit more than that.

i see your point but you have to realize how unique the situation is. No skyscrapers in Texas are built to withstand earthquakes (that i'm aware of) but if one did happen I wouldn't blame the building codes and builders for the destruction and demand that all buildings be retrofitted to withstand earthquakes.

The entire state of Texas was under a winter storm warning at one point. Texas is a very large state with significant differences in climate from North to South and West to East, having the whole state until a winter storm warning is unheard of.
