Why did extreme weather cause power outages in major energy States in the United States? What warning is given?

The United States is facing a once-in-a-century extreme cold wave. In the cold weather that lasts for many days, the American government and people are undergoing an unprecedented test. Texas, a famous energy state in the United States, has become the most severely affected area. Such a living example has to make people think deeply. People who think they can control everything are so fragile in front of nature and the earth.

Persistent cold waves and extreme weather have wantonly invaded all parts of the United States. However, for American States, the most serious disaster is not the northernmost state, but the relatively south Texas. Texas is an energy producing area in the United States, with abundant underground oil reserves and tens of thousands of ground wind power generation equipment. Such an energy hub is unexpected, but it has become the most severely affected area under the continuous action of the cold wave. Perhaps this is also the reason why the district government thinks so, which leads to the inadequacy of anti-disaster measures, and ordinary people have become victims of poor government measures in the face of disasters.

In the face of the cold wave, oil exploitation had to stop, and wind power generation equipment could not generate electricity because of frozen blades in extremely cold weather, which made Texas lose two major energy supply sources instantly. Without power supply, the basic life of thousands of families has become the biggest difficulty, and people have to go to the streets to collect firewood and burn it to provide heat. The power supply is insufficient, and the tap water supply has also become an unsafe factor, and the water supply is intermittent. Because Dezhou is located in the south, the anti-freezing factor is not considered in the construction of water pipe facilities, and the water in the water pipe directly washes away the water supply facilities due to the large amount of freezing, which makes the local residents fall into a state of water and power failure.

Texas, the United States, has become the most severely affected area by the cold wave, which is an extremely profound lesson for the United States and even the world. Humans think that they can easily control all kinds of natural conditions through their own science and technology, but nature has turned the most economically developed country in the world into a disaster area just by using a cold wave weather. In the face of nature's means, human power is far from insignificant, and if we can't fully consider anti-disaster measures in peacetime and take timely measures to deal with disasters, then the lessons of nature may come to us next time.
