Winter Threatens Power Grid: Millions at Risk of Losing Heat

The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) has warned that the nation's power grid is at risk of blackouts this winter due to inadequate preparation for severe weather conditions. The report highlights the vulnerability of the power grid, which has suffered from underinvestment and a lack of weatherization. Disruptions in natural gas generation and insufficient new power generation in Texas pose significant risks, while other regions, such as New England and the Mid-Atlantic, also face challenges. The report emphasizes the need for increased investment and weatherization to address the growing demand for electricity and the impact of climate change. The rapid addition of renewable energy also presents challenges, but some argue that it could ultimately strengthen the grid.
