Texas' power grid is fragile and poses risks beyond its borders. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) projects a 12% chance of rolling blackouts in August. Texas produces 42% of the country's crude oil and 25% of its natural gas, making it pivotal for U.S. energy production. However, concerns exist that the grid could fail due to rapid population growth and increased power demand. ERCOT is working to adapt, but market-distorting policies and subsidies favoring unreliable generation pose risks. Texas needs to fix the market and ensure affordable and reliable electricity. #TexasPowerGrid #ERCOT #EnergySecurity...
