Price gouging is legal for the big guys. But when the small guy does it he gets prosecuted.

[watchgoose]

never give these companies your credit card number "auto pay" -

[melaniea]

They have no power...they should have no bill!

[DanishGSM]

This is the sick World we live in.
People in power don't give a flying fart for you and me.

[brandonlarrabee]

First and foremost there are several laws on the books about price gouging utilities during natural disasters. But maybe the multi million dollar expert and legal and research team don't know this and they aren't scum.

[davids.]

This is what happens when you deregulate energy.

[gamernoe]

She's telling people to be better prepared but not the companies that caused this?!?!?!

[BruceSeesall]

Keep up with this guy Fox News. Be sure he is ok.

[bonniedunbar]

Never give anyone unlimited access to your credit card!

[SOBluTiger]

There is something more going on there that is not being explained.

[Jeanne]

That's like charging a crime victim for the investigation. The fact that he's a quadriplegic makes it even more egregious.

[albertnyakundi]

They are not regulated by the Federal government. They can do whatever they want, thanks to Texas Republicans who get massive campaign contributions from them

[bradensmith]

"The free market will regulate itself"

[srmatte]

You signed an electric provider contract for a variable rate with no cap. Never thought "what's the worst that can happen?"

[garrywagner]

How can they charge that, when it was their fault. They had the same storm in 2011 to me it was negligent on their part. They collected money an didn't repair or upgrade for this scenario . Unbelievable. If your 62 or older you can ignore the bill.

[Eaccannon]

Do not pay those bills. Get a lawyer. They gave you no options. No reasonable amount of time to change your service.

[kuroe-chan]

Lots of people are getting charged over 10k. I wouldn’t be paying it. Period it’s Tx fault they need to take care of it

[kl-jmpn]

Why in the hell are you questioning him like the bill is his fault?!? Are you kidding? Price gouging is NOT okay.

[thomasfletcher]

This is what happens when the "free market" is left unchecked. You need basic regulation for something as important as the power grid.

[albert-ujci]

Next time Fox brags about Deregulation - this is what it means.
