To the editor: When it comes to the reliability of our states’ respective power grids, it does not help much for Californians to throw dirt clods at Texans or for Texans to throw snowballs at Californians. (“Texas blackouts show the power grid isn’t ready for climate change,” Feb. 16)
Both states are victims of a national energy policy that has relied heavily on petroleum products for decades and has effectively helped to increase carbon dioxide in our atmosphere to levels not seen for 3 million years. The result is more frequent and extreme weather events that are overwhelming our energy infrastructure.
