Yeah I was confused; I live near Texas and the temperature has not gotten very cold yet, so the idea that blackouts were already in the table was a briefly alarming thought.
But of course, it’s just a headline…
- adventured 3y agoNot just a headline, the article is from the Dailymail, one of the most garbage publications in Britain. It's equivalent to linking to an article on Breitbart or TMZ in terms of trashiness. The sole reason it made it to the front page so quickly is HN has an irrational obsession with the powergrid in Texas due to the politics involved.
