Look me up when you make to Austin. I live and work about 25 miles east at the place that runs the power grid for Texas.
I like mine, but I only drive it when I have to. I don't understand people who commute in a pickup.
As far as grid operations, it's not really that exciting to see in person. Access is tightly controlled and it's pretty much like any other enterprise application shop.
The control room is pretty cool, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KatQ9Q_IQk
