We keep adding demand(homes and commercial real estate) but they are limiting production. When was the last power plant built?

Texas has added a huge amount of Wind energy production, its about 20% of all electric production in Texas. But there have also been several new NG plants built in the last 15 years with more in the works.

The problem is 6 plants have suddenly gone offline. Now if Texas was part of the national grid, we could get energy from out of state. But as it stands, our politicians won't allow us to join the national grid.
