That somehow makes us impervious to the impact of a historical weather event?

TIL other countries have never had to conserve energy to prevent a potential brief blackout.

Do you have any actual evidence this is the case?

There was no blackout. PJM’s systems worked. Regardless, this was an operation to help the entire country grid system (notably by exporting to MISO). So it’s actually an exact example of something ERCOT couldn’t do to help itself last year. https://twitter.com/dr_a_stein/status/1606755212886147072?s=46&t=g4KpMovi-KJNnltFrF-dlw
Anyway, this is also an event that has caused trouble for all the power systems - rather than last year where exclusively ERCOT had issues during that cold snap.
