Workers from Western Mass Electric repair downed powerlines in Marshfield. (Jesse Costa/WBUR) An unusually cold winter storm left millions of people in Texas without power and water last month, and left many in New England to ask, “Could that happen here?” According to experts at the Boston-based Conservation Law Foundation, the answer is “yes.” Well, sort of. Though the exact scenario that played out in Texas is probably unique to Texas — we don’t frack natural gas here, our pipelines and wind turbines are weatherized, we pay power generators to be ready for unexpected peaks in demand, and we are part of an electric grid that spans the entire eastern half of the country — the infrastructure we rely on to bring us electricity, gas and water is ill-prepared for the coming decades.
