As we reflect on the five years since the devastating Winter Storm Uri that struck Texas in February, the state continues to evaluate its preparedness for future storms. The 2021 freeze exposed significant vulnerabilities in the Texas power grid, resulting in widespread outages and 246 fatalities. Despite improvements in infrastructure aimed at enhancing resilience, questions remain about whether the state is truly ready for a similar event. Many are anxious about the possibility of history repeating itself, prompting discussions about the lessons learned from the past and the steps that have been taken since the crisis. Events are being held to engage the community in conversations about energy preparedness and future challenges. The conversation is ongoing, as Texas seeks to fortify its systems against extreme weather and ensure safety for its residents.
