Rising Energy Demand in Texas and Florida Leads to Power Cut Concerns
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that power outages may affect Texas and Florida as utilities struggle to meet demand. Rising temperatures are driving up air conditioning use, while AI server farms are consuming vast amounts of electricity. To balance supply, utilities are selectively cutting power, prioritizing critical sectors. As demand surges, energy prices in these states are expected to rise, and the issue may soon become a political battleground.
