they contain the fire using river water. Now, as wildfires rage on more than 150 million people across the U.S. are under heat advisories. And that's not all. People in Texas are now in the path of the remnants of Hurricane Beryl, now a tropical storm as Caroline Shively reports, the current forecast and other extreme weather events are causing concern among some about the reliability of the nation's power grid. In a week that saw Hurricane Beryl become the earliest category five storm ever recorded in a season, and more than 100 million Americans suffering under heat alerts. Thank God for air conditioning. The pressure is on the U.S. power grid to deliver. We've invested billions to enhance our power grid, expand energy shortages so that lights air conditioning, refrigeration, internet, stay on during heat waves, storms and other climate changes. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation puts 25 states under an elevated risk for blackouts this summer during extreme heat events, electricity usage traditionally peaks in the summer, as people flip on the AC. I'm done. I cut on some air so that I can breathe through the night and I'm done. So how can the US keep the lights on? The nuclear industry says their plants are less vulnerable to weather than other power sources. Nuclear is the one that's there all day, every day, all times of the year. And as we look at some of these sources, like wind and solar, we expect those to be available as conditions are, you know, suitable for them. And so we need kind of both to work together in Texas. They're putting their money on natural gas. With the state planning to double its energy loan fund for gas fueled power plants, the state has faced scrutiny ever since a fatal winter storm left 4.5 million people without power in 2021. But now it's more than just bad weather worrying officials. Bitcoin mining and data centers powering artificial intelligence are predicted to double the demand on the Texas power grid within just six years. We're talking a magnitude of 10 to 30 times of energy use for an AI data center versus a traditional one across the US. This summer's blackouts are predicted to be slightly
