It needs to be about more than rates. Reliability is important too, and the February experience suggests that reliability is a random variable and is quite possibly going to get worse as we increase reliance on "green" sources.It's fine like it is.
Deregulated and market driven.
Utilities and consumers are well served 9999 days out of 10000.
Market players who got hit with an astronomical bill aren't happy.
Lock in a rate and get over it.
After all the good things he's done, and is doing for Texas.... he doesn't address one problem the way you think he should, and you want to kick him to the curb?Abbott called special legislature session and the Texas energy grid problems are not even on the list !
Abbott has to go !
V and H, with all due respect you really do not know how close we have come this summer to rolling blackouts again.It's fine like it is.

And additional problems are caused by more people and businesses moving to Texas. Also all these electric cars that the keep saying will save the earth and fix global warming take a shit-ton of power to charge up.V and H, with all due respect you really do not know how close we have come this summer to rolling blackouts again.
This is no longer a once in a lifetime threat. And as more wind and solar generation is added, this is going to get worse.
That said, some (not all) of the problem could probably be addressed through regulatory agencies and not necessarily require legislation.
Actually, I do. I listen to the news sometimes, and I heard about conserving electricity to help avoid the rolling blackouts.V and H, with all due respect you really do not know how close we have come this summer to rolling blackouts again.

Today I'm directing the Public Utility Commission of Texas to take immediate action to improve electric reliability across the state. These directives build upon the reforms passed this session to increase power generation capacity & ensure the reliability of the TX power grid.
Didnt you post an abbot has to go about electric thread as Gambler?Abbott called special legislature session and the Texas energy grid problems are not even on the list !

I've peddled electricity to the consumer/metered for a bit over 40 years.V and H, with all due respect you really do not know how close we have come this summer to rolling blackouts again.

Asking for @Axxe55
Now that I think about it didnt you use the same avatar when you were Gambler?
IIRC that is.
I just want my breadbox sized nuclear reactor In the garage. It’s not too much to ask is it?
