      To be fair, “Texas” is in no way doing anything here, people in Texas’s urban areas are doing this (urban areas which are often at odds with the state). If Abbott or Patrick were involved, they’d probably mandate that no one was allowed to turn lights off in order to “prop up the energy sector” or some bullshit
