Abstract

In this article, the author analysed the cause of massive rolling blackouts in the USA, Texas and followed the change of people’s opinions regarding the country’s energy policy. The results show that extreme freezing temperatures had a more significant impact on Texas Republicans in comparison with the Democrats and Grand Old Party (GOP) average. Meeting with the reality of power outages caused by cold weather in Southern State is the reason why Texas Republicans are far more supportive of specific climate policies than most other Republicans. Meanwhile, according to the author, both Parties have tremendous opportunities to use unplanned blackouts in the political struggle because, supported by Biden’s Democratic Program, wind farms are guilty and Republican’s fossil fuels.
