Green Energy Push Raises Risk of Summer Blackouts in US
State and federal officials are warning that the increase in green power and decrease in gas and coal could bring power blackouts in states like Texas, where wind turbines need strong gusts to generate power at full capacity and solar panels don't work at night. President Joe Biden's plans to eradicate fossil fuels from U.S. power generation by 2035 could spark widespread political backlash if green energy power grids bring unreliable electricity and air conditioning. Some lawmakers are pushing back, calling for restrictions on state subsidies for green energy power generation.
