📄 Abstract（原文）
This paper examines how climate change impacts Texas’s energy grid and identifies strategies for building grid resilience by focusing on renewable energy solutions and the inclusion of marginalized groups in decision-making processes. Understanding the conditions that led to the 2021 energy crisis and how they continue to impact Texas residents is critical in advocating for policy reform and climate adaptation. Therefore, the paper begins with the grid’s failure during Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 to demonstrate how the crisis resulted from extreme weather, market design, policy choices, and inadequate infrastructure. Chapter One analyzes the environmental impact of generating electricity using fossil fuels to meet energy demand, especially demand produced in dense urban areas across Texas. The chapter also highlights how nonrenewable energy contributes to the cycle of climate change and degrades ecosystem services. Chapter Two explores how the grid’s failures disproportionately impact low-income and marginalized populations, exacerbating existing social inequalities. Chapter Three investigates the Electric Reliability Council of Texas’s (ERCOT) energy-only market model that prioritizes low costs over long-term reliability and resiliency. Furthermore, the chapter compares the market structure to the interconnected systems of the Pennsylvania-New Jersey-Maryland (PJM) Interconnection, which provides greater stability. Chapter Four considers existing energy policies in Texas and how natural gas companies shape them. Finally, Chapter Five advocates for investments in distributed energy resources and urban planning strategies through policy reform that prioritizes energy security for all Texans.
