Texas' dangerous week in the dark is a wake-up call for the country's infrastructure
CNN
As power outages across Texas, Louisiana and other states leave millions struggling to stay warm in record-breaking cold, experts say there are hard lessons to be learned about the dire need to prepare the country's infrastructure to handle the curve balls climate change is likely to throw at us.
What is not expected is a grid meltdown on the scale that occurred in Texas this week, which wiped out power across much of the state and left millions to fend for themselves in some of the coldest temperatures this part of the country has ever seen. While Texas has borne the brunt of the damage and suffering from this storm, experts say other states and grid operators should take notice.More Related News
