Texas could repeat its electricity crisis if extreme weather hits this winter
CNN
Several regions of the United States are at risk of widespread power outages if extreme weather hits this winter, according to an assessment by the non-profit North American Reliability Corporation.
Texas, which generates more electricity than any other state, could see numerous power plants become inoperable with the right winter storm, causing electricity demand to exceed what's being generated by up to 37%, the report found.
That means nearly half of the state's electricity resources wouldn't be able to meet customer demand, leaving millions of Texans in the dark -- again.
