The electricity grid is dangerously vulnerable, with older components and extreme weather leading to catastrophic events like the Maui wildfires and the Texas Panhandle fire.
Neglected infrastructure poses risks; a decayed utility pole in Texas caused the largest fire in state history, highlighting a critical need for grid modernization.
Catastrophic consequences have arisen from the grid's aging network—it's evident that proactive measures, including proper maintenance and modernization, are essential to prevent future disasters.
The National Academy of Engineering emphasizes the power grid as crucial, underscoring its importance amid rising electricity demand and intensifying weather patterns.
