Besides the horrible and completely unnecessary rise in the rate of sepsis, the article notes that TX hospitals won’t say what their policies for emergencies like PPROM are, presumably for fear of liability. This means that patients have NO CLUE whether a given hospital will provide adequate care.

Look at Estonia - not that long ago and fossil fuels dominated around 90% of electricity generation.
