According to this recent story over at Natural News, a new report from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) says that “grids from the Great Lakes to Louisiana, New England, Carolinas, and all of Texas are the most at risk for power supply shortfalls during high-demand periods” this coming Winter, with the regulatory organization also warning if there is a cold snap for weeks on end, that could lead to major strains on power grids as demand from households and businesses rises significantly. Such demand would lead to rapid drawdowns of natural gas, coal, and backup diesel generators, which could then lead to shortages and power disruptions.
