Google AI & Claude agree that CenterPoint in Houston kind of sucks. ChatGPT seems to think we rarely have outages.

Google AI: "Houston-area residents experience some of the most frequent power outages in the United States, with many neighborhoods seeing multiple outages per month and some hotspots enduring 30 to 46 disruptions per year. During peak months, the city's outage frequency has spiked to nearly three times the national average."

Claude AI: "Houston has notably more outages than the national average. Investigative reporting found Greater Houston residents experience twice as many power outages as the national average, based on infrastructure data despite significant utility investment."

ChatGPT: "For a typical Houston-area home, the long-term average is:

About 2 sustained power outages per year

About 3 total hours without power per year (combined across those sustained outages)

About 10 momentary interruptions ("blinks") per year, where power goes out briefly and comes right back."
