Millions of American remained without power in frigid temperatures Tuesday as the U.S. continues to grapple with the effects of a major storm. The demand for energy is taxing power grids, most significantly in Texas.

Due to 1. unprecedented demand for power for electricity during winter (demand for power was/is significantly higher than grid planner’s worst case scenario) and 2. coal-natural gas-nuclear power plants are not performing at expected levels, especially natural gas power plants in Texas right now. Wind power plants are meeting their expected level. With climate change, grid planners need to update their forecast for future extreme weather conditions.Houston Chronicle reporter Zach Despart and University of Houston Energy Fellow Ed Hirs join Chuck Todd to discuss the power grid emergency, in the video published on Feb. 17, 2021, “Texas Ignored Report Predicting Power Grid Emergency For 10 Years, MTP Daily, MSNBC“, below:

I am a mother/wife/daughter, math professor, solar advocate, world traveler, yogi, artist, photographer, sharer of knowledge/information, and resident of Windermere, FL. I've worked professionally in applied math, engineering, medical research, and as a university math professor in IL and FL for about 20 years. My husband and I loved Disney and moved down to Central Florida initially as snowbirds. But we've come to love the warmth and friendly people offered by this community and decided to move down to Windermere, FL full time in 2006. I am now spending time sharing information/ knowledge online, promoting understanding of math and solar energy (via http://www.sunisthefuture.net ), and developing Windermere Sun (http://www.WindermereSun.com) as an online publication, sharing and promoting Community ABC's (Activities-Businesses-Collaborations) for healthier/happier/more sustainable living. In the following posts, I'll be sharing with you some of the reasons why Windermere has attracted us to become full-time residents of Central Florida region.
