This forces the system to work harder to achieve the desired temperature, leading to: Increased Energy Consumption: A clogged system can consume up to 30% more energy, driving up utility bills and placing a strain on the power grid. Shorter Lifespan: Strained systems wear out faster, requiring costly repairs or replacements.

With this comes a surge in electricity use, mostly from cooling systems. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) is predicting a historic demand of over 80,000 MW , putting immense pressure on the state’s power grid. Temperatures across Texas will run 10-15 degrees above normal for at least the next seven days.

Diversification, whether it’s on a single farm or across a local economy, can make towns more resilient, the report says. Renewed interest in cultivating native crops like taro helps restore local ecosystems and strengthen their resilience to threats like wildfires that feast on dry invasive grasses. That applies on land, too.

New demands on the network from the cars we drive, to the way we heat/cool, or power our homes will change the traditional power flows and role of the electricity network. Society can move faster than power networks. Experiential data shows that one EV takes about the same amount of power as one house in a year.
