massive Blackouts in Portugal & Spain Caused by Extreme Heat
Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, explains that recent massive blackouts in Portugal and Spain were not caused by sabotage, but by extreme heat linked to climate change. Overwhelming demand on the power grid, especially from air conditioning, led to widespread outages. McIntyre draws parallels to past blackouts in New York City and warns similar failures could happen again amid increasing energy deficits.
