Not that it takes much to trash their grid
A category 1 hurricane sneezed on Houston and I was without power for 8 days in 95 degree heat. We need to seize the power grid back from private companies and hold it in public trust.
They literally overcharged the state for emergency generators that were too big to use during the hurricane clean up, purchased from a tiny no name company, surely for kickbacks, and they made a tidy profit off it too, by like 10 percent.
And now they want to recoup costs by raising our rates.
YOU CAUSED THIS BY NOT PERFORMING VEGETATIVE MAINTENANCE TO CUT COSTS.
Btw, the CEO of CenterPointless worked for PG&E, the company that set California on fire, due to a lack of vegetative maintenance. I’m pretty sure he was their Chief financial officer.
If only Texans had a way to vote for leadership that could fix their electricity issues 🤔
I realize you might be trying to mock a common refrain from rightwing nutjobs but this isn’t really the place
mock at all means, but do so with class and wit
watching Austin Energy capping my A/C and deciding to become a rabid supporter of Yud’s call to airstrike data centers
I wonder if disused datacentres will end up being like many malls are today: dead and empty because the bubble popped and the money moved on.
Wow isn’t having an unregulated grid the best? Anyway my AC is working just fine, thanks for asking.
