In February 2021 Texas was hit by extremely cold weather. People died, transport ground to a halt, and the state's energy system failed. Demand spiked as people tried to keep warm, just as vital parts of the infrastructure froze. In this WRI Big Ideas Into Action podcast we're looking at energy resilience. What are the lessons of Texas, and - as the world pushes towards low-carbon and renewable energy - what's the situation elsewhere in the world? We hear from WRI experts in both India and the US about what can be done and what is being done. For more, go to WRI's energy program - www.wri.org/our-work/topics/energy - and take a look at the blog post on the main lessons from Texas - https://www.wri.org/blog/2021/02/strengthening-us-energy-resilience-texas-storm
