Iran Faces Severe Power Shortages Amid Record Heatwave
===============
#b1bbf6da ver:0.27
Iran is facing severe power shortages due to a record heatwave and a funding deficit for electricity production. The government needs $8 billion annually to sustain the electricity production cycle, but limited revenue and prioritization of other funding needs have made it difficult to cover energy costs. The power cuts have disrupted industries and caused frustration among citizens. The government's failure to increase electricity production and the inefficiency of the power grid and plants contribute to the shortage. The situation is exacerbated by global sanctions and the ongoing nuclear program. #Iran #PowerShortage #Heatwave...

Texas' Fragile Power Grid Poses Risks Beyond Its Borders
===============
#b1bbf6da ver:0.26
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...
