Should Texas Taxpayers Pay For Exorbitant Electricity Bills From Winter Storms?

Last week, when the temperatures dropped and power plants froze across the state, the wholesale price of electricity skyrocketed.

They really expect people to pay that nonsense!?

Its unbelievable that there are Texans that defend a $17, 000 bill for 5 days of electricity. There is no excuse for such robbery.

Griddy customers never complained when they got electricity for $0.01/kWh

Pay with wut?🤔aren’t those news articles of miles of cars waiting for food handouts from Texas?

[lothean]

Pay or not to pay. These people signed up for that variable rate and enjoyed the low prices while the rest of us paid our fixed rate. So now you got the other end of it. But, no... they should not have to pay such a high price. But something to truly think about before the scorching summer hits...THINK OF GOING SOLAR POWER.
