Texas' fragile power grid poses risks beyond its borders, with a 12% chance of rolling blackouts in August. The state's rapid population and economic growth, along with increased power demand from data centers and cryptocurrency mining, are straining the grid. ERCOT is working to adapt, but concerns exist that the grid could fail. Texas needs to invest in expanding its electric infrastructure to ensure reliable and affordable electricity. Rising summer temperatures due to climate change are also expected to increase energy costs by nearly 8% in the US, disproportionately affecting low-income households. #TexasPowerGrid #EnergyInfrastructure #ClimateChange #EnergyCosts...
