Electricity price is lower than national average.

They are the equivalent of MAGA morons barking about things they don’t know about.

They will never look in the mirror.

No. The bill is exactly the same. That’s wholesale.

Power cost less than average in Texas.

People use more for AC and some people have bad insulation and windows.

My bill for a 2300 sq foot house with two AC units and two electric cars and solar is no where near over $200. Sometimes is less than $100.

What’s dishonest is the failure to acknowledge that Texas’ power shortfalls in extreme weather are also related to population growth and that other grids are just as vulnerable.

California’s, the entire region of New York almost melted down last summer. New England was on the brink over cold weather and Russian gas price spikes.

The Texas hate is really just ignorance of how things work.

Texas isn’t even top 20 for states with most hours of power outage.

Maine is 1.

Facts are awesome.

No one here is aware of anything.

There are no variable rate plans.

The only clowns are the comments. None of you understand the Texas wholesale power market but yet you feel free to talk anyway.
