    So, are you again watching Fox News? Yes or no? Because if you are not, I am wondering where all the lies about Democrats from your previous post are coming from? For example the lie that Biden has the blood of dead Texans on his hands?

    BTW: Feeding at the trough is a metaphor, commonly used by RWers to describe people looking for government handouts:

    Silly girl.
    If you had a blank check for what you could charge wouldn't you make more, not less?

    What values are those?
    Unregulated business that can extort people financially after they have failed to prepare for events they have been warned or? Congressmen that flee overseas while you or I am not allowed to even go to while their constituents literally freeze to death? A healthcare system that prioritizes profit over life? Trickle down economics that only benefit the wealthy? Tax breaks that mostly go to the super rich?

    Hhmmm, sure is peculiar set of values when backing Trump at all times, a man who has no moral values.

    No, they wont have to pay, WE the american taxpayer will. Texas is planning on using Federal Relief money to pay those. So, as usual, they are socializing the costs, and privatizing the profits. The $8,800/kWh is well documented.

    Hey, don't you know, those things are really all the Dem's fault. At least that's what RW media tells them.

    Policy > Personality

    It's not like Groper Joe is any improvement.

    Got anything to say about Biden's DOE price gouging Texans in a crisis?

    News reports also say Griddy warned subscribers about the cost increases and advised them to change electric service providers. But subscribers were having problems executing that change in a timely manner.

    How ironic. In spite of the Biden administration's attempt to punish Texas for supporting Trump, Texas may end up with Biden paying for current loss and future costly winterization!

    I saw that the CEO was telling them to please try to find a different provider. Not exactly a "paragon of greed" to tell your customers to go away.

    A few random Tweets from Griddy customers said that other companies were telling them that they couldn't open a new service account unless they had a zero balance with their current provider....so Griddy customers were sort of stuck.

    If the Biden admin did, in fact, prevent us from maxing out existing capacity, then definitely AG Ken Paxton should sue for all damages.

    1) OP's link didn't come from FOX
    2) My info didn't come from FOX
    3) I never said I would never watch FOX again, i said i was tired of their spin and wanted some non-biased news sources (mostly using BBC these days) to supplement with.

    I love the divine irony of Dems who punished Texas for supporting Trump having to pay recompense for their abuse.

    Yeah I do. That statement is patently false about the energy issue. TX is independent from the rest of the nation, that is public record.

    Biden is magnitudes more moral than Trump.

    The "awesomeness" of modern technology. LOL

    Apparently, energy providers put in bids every 5 minutes on how much they will sell their energy into the grid. Buyers take the lowest prices from sellers and make the purchase.

    Griddy must have developed some software which updates as the wholesale price fluctuates hourly. Conceivable, customers could be paying 0.03/kWh one minute and 9.00/kWh the next minute then 4.00/kWh with the next update. Without the storm the fluctuations would be pennies up or down throughout the day, and not cause alarm.

    Looking at their Twitter, they do a "day-ahead" forecast to set expectations. Looks like customer could pay almost zero or up to 0.30/kWh on a more "normal" day. Customers could probably plan laundry, cooking and other energy-using appliances to non-peak times and really save some money. "Normally". LOL

    I haven't seen any links that this has been debunked. The official document is posted on the government's DOE website.

    Personally, I've never "reported" any of my fellow members here because I don't think anyone should be banned for conversation. They should be able to show their character through free speech.

    However, I do have 9 people on "ignore" for insulting me and my opinions non-stop over several days, as you have been doing.

    So, "Goodbye, dear grapeape, my number #10". None of your future insulting posts will be visible to me because I do not have to tolerate verbal abuse. More than three strikes. You're out.

    Enjoy your obviously happy and joyous life. :)

    You dont get to post lies with impunity. If you lie, and get called out, you accept and move on. If you want to continue to lie after being proven wrong, then thats on you for not learning the err of your own ways

    Have a nice day
