Does Texas have trouble keeping the air conditioning on in the summer?
A Texas friend of mine was saying how hot the summer was and that it was a strain on the utilities. She said even keeping her house cool was difficult. I remember the problem Texas had a few years ago in the winter with the electrical grid, but I was surprised to hear Texas was having summertime problems too, I hadn’t heard anything about it.
I know California has problems too. Both states have tons of sun, it had me wondering how much solar power is used.
I live in Florida, and it was plenty hot this summer, but as far as I know we don’t have any grid problems (maybe I just don’t know) and I have no problem keeping my house cool.
What states have their utilities strained regularly.
