Maybe they're an especially egregious example because of how fucked up their power grid is, but odds are it's not gonna be that much better when the rest of the country gets their own unique climate disaster.

    I dunno, I mean. I am sure you are right.

    However, I think in general we didn't expect to see climate change over whelm our infrastructure so soon. I know I didn't at least. So I feel we must use this data point and revise our predictions upwards sharply. As this is going to happen potentially every year going forward with increasing intensity

    My mind is just absolutely blown by this situation

      This has happened every decade since the 90s in Texas. It's a constant problem that they have been told to fix. And instead of fixing they just pulled their grid from the national grid.

      But yeah the rest of the nation's infrastructure is a joke. Texas is just 3rd world joke level

      Idk man, you should listen to a podcast called Ashes Ashes. They'll give you a pretty good idea what is coming for the climate issues. Wet-bulb temperatures are very fun, and as someone who generates a lot of heat personally, I already have a hard time in the summers already.
