The intense heat wave blazing across the U.S. is continuing to crank out record-breaking temperatures. Two out of three Americans are experiencing heat above 90 degrees. Some cities are reaching new daily highs, including Dallas at 109 degrees. Texas is testing the state’s energy consumption, which is expected to swell to levels never before reached using equipment that dates back nearly 50 years.

Regarding this current so-called "heatwave" in the USA…….
People in 2022: Wow, it's hot!
People in 1936: Hold our suntan lotion!
biden how about u teaching the el salvadorian president how its done. clamp down these criminals that operate in ur soil. good american spirit seeks justice. so in effect. gang units should b anti terrorism units. remember insurgents get smoked out they hole. no wait they in ur soil? 😦jeez
Here Comes The Apocalyptic-
Inferno Heat .
Dinosaurly Caused By The
World Billions Of Cars .

36-37ºC is pretty normal from where I am from, LOL
Hunger,fire,drinking water shortage and sea water will increase.20yrs from now america look likes saudi arabia.
I saw around 1000 wind turbines driving I-40 180 miles through north Texas. So maybe there is 25,000 in the whole state? And the grid went kaput last winter.
Yessssirrrr the more we wake up the more the system falls , the hotter it gets 😆 y'all can't take this heat huh , remember y'all told us FREEZE 🥶 when y'all invaded this planet, we thawing out now and coming for all inorganic beings, and their gmo creations from technology to food 😂
Lol who needs nukes when the sun is also life threatening to human existence and the sun has actually been more active than ever might i add.
So maybe the republican governors will acknowledge climate change if it is shoved down their. Throats
If Texas disappeared we would be happy
And people think global warming is a hoax
Imagine believing the statement, "Summer is Hot" constitutes as news
See Arizona is dry heat … that human heat …. Something different .
this is just fake news. climate change is a communist conspiracy. ya'll just ignore it.
You brought this on yourself, US, you and your stupid private sector.
It won't be long now. Wet bulb temps are manifesting everywhere around the Earth. Human habitat is burning to the ground and so is the ability to grow, store, and transport food. All it will take is for the frail power grid to fail in a place like Texas in these temps and millions will die. Wet bulb conditions are a combination of heat and humidity in which the human body loses its ability to cool itself. Ignorant Republicans and their uneducated voters will soon regret that they denied climate science 20 years ago. Climate change is now abrupt, exponential, and irreversible. It is now a runaway climate and within 5 years there won't be another human being standing on Earth.
Texas has it's own electric regulations. They failed and let people freeze to death during winter. They should be ashamed that they have to ask TX to conserve. #ERCOT
It has been a steady 60-65 degrees for the past two weeks in San Francisco. The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Mark Twain.
So, how hot does it have to get before city mayors declare their jurisdictions "clothing optional?" Shed even the lightest clothing and one sheds 20 degrees. Save lives, go natural.

Hmm….well it's 77 in Houston right now. So what's up?
If anyone is planning to live in such areas for some extended period of years, I recommend rooftop solar photovoltaic panels. Heatwaves always come with abundant clear blue skies and the solar panels will just love to eat up that sunshine — exactly during the daytime hours when you need A/C the most too.
A typical detached home has enough rooftop space for some 6000W or more of solar enough to run a typical 3500W to 4500W whole home A/C with the surplus to power the neighbor's house too which further reduces stress on the grid. You'll likely getting energy credits for that excess as well. No other power source blends so seamlessly into the urban landscape like solar does and solar does it silently with no moving parts.
Those rooftop panels reduce strain on the grid too so provides a double benefit. A triple benefit is the panels reduce heat on your home's roof by acting as as type of insulation/reflector. The temperature differential between unshaded and shaded roof would easily be some 45-degrees F. This is the temperature difference between able to keep your hand against the roof versus so scorching hot that your hand will flinch away in pain.
As soon as a we have a cold winter day someone at work will laugh mockingly saying "global warming huh? Heh heh" Gets funnier every year….🥸
전기요금이 오십만원? 헐…
방이 넓어서 더 그렇구나
Breaking news!! Texas is hot in the summer!!! Thank you NBC news for this groundbreaking investigative journalism. Next up: Minnesota is so cold in the winter that ice actually falls from the sky!!
Under the same assumption shouldn't they be able to generate as much as they need because they have liberal access to oil.
Heatwave Be Like: I'm Aiming The West And EU. Lmfao HAPPY SUMMER DAY.
Hey USA And EU ENJOY THE SUMMER!!
🤫🤫🤫
Heatwave: [Exists]
Their Electricity Bills: I'M IN DANGER!?
Stay hydrated and stay safe
It’s July. July is hot in the United States. I worked outside six days a week in 1988 here in western Pennsylvania. That summer, we had 44 days above 90°, and we hit 100° one day, which has only happened three times in western Pennsylvania since World War II..
not every year is super hot for a long time, not every year is particularly rainy, not every year is cool relatively speaking in the summer. But it is not unusual..
Just look back at history of the 1930s. That was called the dust bowl years in the Midwest. Tens of thousands of people moved out of that area after that long dry spell. Unpleasant, but not unusual
95 here today but i haven't turned on the AC, in fact i haven't used AC for over a decade. I don't understand why ppl has to be in the 80s in the winter but under 70 in the summer. why not just experience the 80s indoor in the summer and under 70 in the winter. Of course, people with health condition shouldn't try it, stay warm and hydrated. lol.
And indeed, We will make them taste of the Penalty of this (life) prior to the supreme Penalty, in order that they may (repent and) return. (The Holy Quran Sura As Sajdah-32:21)
Mischief has appeared on land and sea because of (the meed) that the hands of men have earned, that ((Allah)) may give them a taste of some of their deeds: in order that they may turn back (from Evil).
Say: "Travel through the earth and see what was the end of those before (you): Most of them worshipped others besides Allah." (The Holy Quran Sura Rom-30:41-42)
I have conveyed the truth to the people of the world, please don't make bad comments.
I wonder how cold the coming record cold temps will be. Everything has been so extreme. The cold still seems more deadly- as so many aren’t used to freezing temperatures- and those who are, aren’t used to the teens.
Plant shade trees for a cooler breeze oOr live with hot dessert wind. Sigh….. This plan isn't being talked about. Cost too much? Too late? Too stupid?
The Corporate Democrat Control will never issue a warning that all Corporate Network “News” is between big pharma an big healthcare insurance commercials.
It’s always hot in July and August. Democratics love pushing Global warming issues this time of year.
Israel and all the Jews of the world must help Ukraine militarily and financially, and when Ukraine wins, Israel and all the Jews must move to Ukraine and establish a state in Ukraine
A green European state instead of Palestine, all of them are endless problems in the first place, the Jews lived in Ukraine historically, not in Palestine
Its 120 degree and more in Iraq , we still have our daily activities done normally , thats the answer for those who are asking about the reason for 30 nations including USA to run away and leave Iraq , and that is why they call us the children of hail ….
did he say she s 83yo????? noooo waaaay!!!
A lot hotter before 1940.
FAKE NEWS!!! PAID ACTORS!! IF DONALD J TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT TEMPERATURES WOULD BE 18 DEGREES LOWER!! THIS IS ALL DUE TO GEORGE SOROS!!!!!!!! AL GORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MAGA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Am I doing it right?)
Yay heat 🐧🐼🐽
If they had their power gride with other states the cost would be lower. I used to live in TX and I had the AC on and it cost me $130 in apartment. My parents Almost pay $300 living in a house. Now the apartment they live in is almost $150 and its smaller than my old apartment of 2 beds and one bath. I now live in OR and pay $40-$60 a month with just running fans and all my electronics on. Also why didn't they prepare for this at all, if it's that old you should fix it to withstand the usage, don't tell people to not use what they pay for.
No clouds each day!!!!!weird…co2!!!!!🌡🌡🌡
Stop spraying the sky's with chemicals that might help.
Its 93 rn in Seattle. SEATTLE! I remeber just 10 years ago it would barely reach 88.
Does Texus offer its people a solar grant insentive program? If not then thats probably why the state draws some much energy from the grid!!
Y'all should visit Botswana, you'd LOVE the summer these ends😅
