Get Ready for Blackouts in Texas As Extreme Heat Comes Through

Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that Texas is at serious risk of rolling blackouts due to an impending heatwave. With temperatures expected to exceed 100°F in cities like Dallas and San Antonio, the already fragile grid may not handle the increased air conditioning demand. McIntyre highlights the threat not only to public health but also to the state’s economy, which could take a hit as businesses are forced to close during peak heat periods.
