I hear that the US as a whole is going to be experiencing rolling blackouts and about 60million people will be affected. I doubt Texas will fare well during that time.
The power grid operators have been warning they can't keep up with the demand data centers and rising temperatures are creating. But when have we ever listened to experts so of course we haven't done anything to help the situation.
texas will suffer far worst, since thier outdated grid isnt connected to the rest of the country.
Never forget that the fact it's separate is INTENTIONAL and the fault of TEXAS
They always have to be the special little snowflakes that they are, so scared of science and logic.
That's not true! We told people to not go easy on the air conditioning!
I mean Mamdani asked people to set their AC to 78 to help the situation and he was called an evil commie for doing so.
And then the DOE wiped all references to that advice from their shit. Or so I'm told by one journalistic outlet and two people I know who give half a shit.
*fare
*affected
Thanks I always struggle with that one.
