Winter storm Uri, which swept across Texas in February 2021, brought to light a series of systemic failures in the state's infrastructure that had profound and far-reaching consequences. This study follows the storm’s formation and the ensuing gas and power failures in Texas. This case study will also explore the impacts on human life and economic impacts. The study highlights disruptions in supply chains, business operations, and damages, while also emphasizing environmental repercussions, particularly the excessive flaring and venting of natural gas, resulting in extremely heightened emissions. Finally, the study investigates the role of climate change in intensifying extreme weather events in the region, thus exacerbating vulnerabilities in existing infrastructure and reliance on fossil fuels emphasizing the urgent need to reevaluate infrastructure resilience and reduce dependency on fossil fuels to mitigate vulnerabilities in the face of evolving climatic conditions.
