U.S. Rep. Greg Casar has introduced a bill that would connect Texas' self-contained power grid with the rest of the United States, arguing the move could prevent disasters such as 2021's Winter Storm Uri, which crippled the state and left hundreds dead.
U.S. Rep. Greg Casar has introduced a bill that would connect Texas' self-contained power grid with the rest of the United States, arguing the move could prevent disasters such as 2021's Winter Storm Uri, which crippled the state and left hundreds dead.
“During Winter Storm Uri, more than 10 million Texans lost power and hundreds died as a result — Texans can’t afford inaction," Casar said."Whether we’re in the middle of a heat wave or a winter storm, we should be able to keep the lights on, especially as the climate crisis gets worse. It’s time for a solution, and that’s why I’m introducing the Connect the Grid Act."
Additionally, the Connect the Grid Act would make the U.S. Department of Energy and the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission conduct a study on the benefits of creating a grid connection with Mexico.
