If the US Power Grid Failed, These States Go Dark First (All 50 Ranked)

In February 2021, the Texas power grid came within four minutes and thirty-seven seconds of failing completely, and a full restart could have taken weeks. So if the grid failed tonight, which states would go dark first, and which would be the last to get the lights back? We ranked all 50 states using five questions built on public data: can the grid borrow power, where its fuel comes from, its outage record, the weather it faces, and how dangerous a week without power would be there. And number one is not Texas.
