Even without extreme weather events, the power grid needs love. The grid was largely built in the 1950s and 1960s with a 35- to 80-year life expectancy , meaning much of it should have been retired and replaced by now. As people invest in new AC systems, they simply must be all-electric. Climate crisis = not fun.
