This leads to a conversation about personal energy independence in Texas following Winter Storm Uri in 2021. Both hosts share their investments in solar power and whole-house generators to mitigate the unreliability of the state's power grid.

Reports indicate that many transmission facilities have not yet corrected deficiencies. Furthermore, the Railroad Commission has not mandated winterization for natural gas producers, a process that may not be completed until 2023.

The narrative highlights widespread infrastructure failures in Austin, specifically noting how tankless water heaters cracked due to electricity loss and freezing temperatures. Neighbors in the local cul-de-sac faced significant plumbing damage while local news and streaming services remained largely inaccessible.
