Power Grid Chaos -- 4 Million Without Power in Texas
3 Million Texans Without Power As Grid Chaos Continues Ahead Of Imminent Ice Storm.
The lack of gas flowing to powerplants plus unprecedented demand for power has resulted in the state's highest-ever electricity rates. Power demand has surpassed supply leading to massive blackouts for the last couple of days. 
Cell phone service is starting to break down over the region as back up generators at towers are freezing or running out of fuel or both.
The freeze also took a toll on the state's energy industry, the country's largest crude refinery shuttered operations on Monday. Over the weekend, natural gas pipelines had restricted flow as wellheads froze. 
 The cold snap in Texas has forced the shutdown of "refineries, oil wells, and meat plants, disrupted shipments of soybeans and corn, and is still leaving more than 3 million customers without electricity could continue to keep parts of Texas in the dark for several days," according to Bloomberg. 

With more than 3 million customers without power, there is no way ERCOT will restore power tonight. It could be a couple of days before full power is restored.
