People in Texas are once again being told to prepare for rolling blackouts, prompting criticism of the state's governor, Greg Abbott, Newsweek reported. Texans were asked on Thursday to cut down on their energy usage as experts said the high demand for power in the extreme heat could cause problem with the state's power grid.

After weeks of extreme heat, health officials have reported numerous deaths, while emergency departments across the state are seeing record numbers of people seeking treatment for heat exhaustion and heat stroke.

For years, Texas was the perfect place to build businesses or relocate businesses, but the Covid pandemic has plunged the state into sixth place, CNBC reported Tuesday. 

Texas Republican Governor Greg Abbott signed legislation earlier this week that "poses serious health risks" to construction workers, Texas Public Radio (TPR) reports.
