Douglas McIntyre, Editor-in-Chief at Climate Crisis 24/7, warns that New York City could face another massive blackout this summer due to an aging power grid, surging electricity demand from air conditioning, and potential cyberattacks. Drawing parallels to the infamous blackouts of 1977 and 2003, McIntyre emphasizes that the city remains vulnerable as extreme heat looms.
