re: If Texas's central grid only relied on solar & wind energy, would anyone have electricity?

Nope....any power source in Texas will have issues in temperatures that are in the teens and single digits for multiple days, but as your graph clearly shows natural gas picked up as much of the slack as it could and is the reason that some people stayed on and that people are coming back online today.

God bless Natural Gas.

Solar appears to be a niche product in Texas. I think this is more appropriate for suburban homeowners or warehouse/big box stores than major energy providers.
