Global warming increases the likelihood of the polar vortex destabilizing, which is what caused the last clusterfuck.

So surprisingly a couple things have actually happened. Renewables are still showing explosive growth, it helped stave off as many rolling blackouts this summer. Also, they finally agreed to tie into the national grid.
Now, did they actually winterize and help prevent what happened a few years ago? Who knows, we haven’t been told shit so probably not.
