We're about to see a major winter storm test power grids across the country—it doesn't have to be this way. Investing in a diverse array of clean energy sources can save lives and Americans’ wallets: ampr.gs/4bh4ttE
An infographic titled "Why Energy Diversification Matters as Extreme Cold Intensifies" by CAP.

The graphic features a vertical timeline against a background of snow-covered houses and evergreen trees during a winter storm.

The timeline includes three main points:

February 2021: Notes that Winter Storm Uri left millions in Texas without power, causing 246 deaths and up to $130 billion in damages after natural gas wellheads froze.

After the 2021 storm: Texas expanded clean energy capacity by adding 23,114 MW of solar, 8,343 MW of wind, and thousands of MW of battery storage, which helped prevent outages during a January 2025 cold snap.

Strengthen the grid: Asserts that extreme cold continues to threaten infrastructure and that a diverse array of clean energy sources will improve electric grid reliability and help consumers save money.
