DALLAS — Texas leads the country for the number of weather-related power outages over the past two decades, says a new report by a climate change nonprofit.
From 2000 to 2021, the U.S. had 1,542 major weather-related power outages.
With 180 outages, Texas beat out other states with smaller land mass and higher population density. Michigan came in second with 132, and California third with 129. North Carolina and Pennsylvania followed with 97 and 82, respectively.
