We got a heartrending reminder of this fact in February 2021, when Texas experienced an. Spiking demand for electric heat collided with supply problems created by frozen natural-gas equipment and below-average wind-power production. That need for balance is true of electric power grids, too. unprecedented and deadly winter freeze.

It’s –27 °C, dipping below –40 °C with wind chill—well below the operating temperature of most of the commercial equipment we brought for this expedition. This data has come in large part from ICESat , launched in 2003, and its successor, ICESat-2 , launched in 2018. Our phones, laptops, and cameras are rapidly failing.
