News
Extra reading: A state of emergency has been declared in Texas. Last week temperatures plunged below freezing levels.
As a result, the natural gas, nuclear, and wind power plants froze and could not operate.
This left millions of Texas residents without power, food, and running water for a full week.
Texas is the second largest state in America with a population of 29,087,070.
Science
Texans get about 56% of their energy from natural gas, 24% from wind, 19% from coal, and almost 9% from nuclear energy.
