On Monday, Texas shattered its June 2022 electricity demand record of 76,718 MW—burning through 79,304 MW so far this month. Today alone, electricity demand in Texas could reach 81,000 MW—a figure which would also break the current daily summertime record.https://oilprice.com/Latest-Energy-News/World-News/ERCOT-Asks-Texans-To-Conserve-Energy-To-Avoid-Blackouts.html#ClimateChange #Texas #FossilFuelMustGo
