Its just funny, there's this whole attitude that Texans have about independance and boom I find a manifestation of it in a power grid?

Nuts I say!

But on the other end I do like the idea of finding a way to tell the Fed Gov't "Sorry we're not interstate so shove your federal rules up your ass."

Texans are too smart and have too much drive to be Quebec...

Growing up in texas, I remember reading some random articles in social studies about Texas and it's effectiveness as an independent power. I don't remember any of it, because I was like, fucking seven years old, but that's besides the point.

randomass factoid: Texas is the only state in the union permitted to fly the state flag at the same level as the stars and stripes. There is a lot of pride in that state....for good or bad.
