I thought that the whole point of PAYING for your utilities was that the provider DID OWE YOU ITS PRODUCT.
Strange way to blast socialism. Even if you pay for it, they still don't have to provide it.
These people are really deranged. And of course, Texans will keep electing them.

The only point Kurt is missing is: GOP voters WILL NOT WATCH ANYTHING OTHER THAN FOX. So they will never find out the truth.

You're wrong about that. They will definitely watch OAN, Newsmax, and/or Blaze. 😄 I'm sure they are all telling their viewers that coal is the way of the future.

Thanks everyone. On long enough last evening to make a hot dinner. Then, off. So, went to bed. Woke up about 5:30 am warm and toasty. Off again now.

Rush Limbaugh has died. Suddenly 2021 doesn't seem so bad.

Clearly the real tragedy of the situation - you should declare your independence from the state of Texas, and have your own power grid.

I wonder why El Paso is on the national grid and so many cities and counties in Texas aren't?
