NBC News’ Morgan Chesky gives a closer look at the residents and energy suppliers dealing with these record high temperatures.

106 ° in Wisconsin yesterday
The state needs to nationalize electricity generation. Electricity generation should be government-owned and operated.
Secondly, Texas needs a carbon tax in order to establish a market solution to push out coal, oil, and gas generation in favour of renewables, energy storage, and nuclear power. Thirdly, Texas needs to spend billions on interconnecting the ERCOT with the rest of the US, and Mexico.
The Texas Power Grid is close to collapse.
I'm so glad I don't live in Texas! It's a hot mess there. Mass shooting, people freezing to death, no power in extreme weather, one thing after another! And it's all because who is running that state! Do better Texas, and vote for people that actually care about human life…..not just the ones in a woman uterus! And why do you guys keep voting for Ted Cruz?
I appreciate you and your content < Technical Analysis is good but I find It truly baffling that major crypto youtubers just look mostly at pure T.A and completely ignore the bigger narrative of why BTC is pumps/pumped and why the future outlook will be even rosier than it seems. It's kinda irresponsible to ignore the fact that each ETF launch so far has caused a major dump at the peaks of BTC. We were already on shaky footing with historically low volume and almost pure whale pumps, narrowly avoiding a long-term bear market. More emphasis should be put into day trading as it is less affected by the unpredictable nature of the market. I have made over 14 btc from day trading with McCord Kobe insights and charts.His been one step ahead of other analysis…
Lol Texas republicans cares more about guns then your power, i guess u can use your gun to cool u down.. lol I love
It's a power grab problem, not a grid problem. Easy solution. Vote blue. Then maybe you can get things handled like adults. It is policy that makes the difference 💯.
Vote Abbott out! He’s more concerned about transgenders who make up a minuscule part of the population than the millions that could be risked by the heat or the cold of the winter! The guy is an embarrassment! The guy who says he is pro-life and shrugs his shoulders when kids get gunned down or when people die of the extreme heat or extreme cold! He’s a POS!
Yes I wonder what would happen if our government tries to take us off fossil fuels and we still don't have dependable electricity what happens if fire trucks and ambulances and police officers don't have fossil fuel engines and cars no board were all electric and our power grade goes down I'm just saying
It seems kind of funny that they're wanting us they us to conserve powering certain States they're one of us to adopt electric vehicles but we seem to not have very faithful electricity
Texas fuuu trump republuscum
Compared to Texas 🤡 Kentucky is not too bad
Impeach Biden………………….Trump 2024
I bet any "extreme" weather has all Texans wondering if the grid will fail. Nothing living in a 3rd world country.
That new green deal doesn't sound so bad 🤡 now does it but once again another thing Republicans hate 🤦🖕 sweat to death freeze to death I don't give a f***
You guys are weird for just explaining it all the time
Dubai has these temperatures daily for the year yet they have state of the infrastructure that copes.
I hope all the companies going to Texas are paying attention and bring their own power source.
They're complaining about being to hot I thought Texans love the sun the hot weather the nice warm winds now they want cool weather 🤣
Yall really think the power grid is going down because of heat?
fixing the power grid in Texas cuts into the companies profits
