An energy watchdog group is warning that President Joe Biden's energy policy has put more than half the country at elevated risk of blackouts this winter.
Citing a new energy report, the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association pointed to Biden's policies as a direct threat to the stability of America's energy grid, according to Fox Business Network.
"A strengthening El Niño will make this winter colder with plenty more snow for millions of people who live in major cities," AccuWeather reported on Oct. 4, adding that the weather will be especially severe across the Central and Eastern U.S. It could be a recipe for serious issues for the electrical grid, according to the Winter Reliability Assessment from the North American Electric Reliability Corporation.

"The confluence of both of those factors has year after year resulted in wide swaths of generators being unavailable for some of our most critical winter periods and hours where the system needs it the most," said John Moura, NERC director of reliability assessment and performance analysis.
Millions were left without power during Winter Storm Uri in 2021, and nearly 250 people lost their lives.
"While gas operators are taking steps to weatherize their conditions and help lower risks for the winter weather, NERC officials said their assessment is that it is 'unlikely' that actions will be enough to reduce the risk down to an acceptable level," the outlet reported.
