Someone is selling me electricity right now, but I have no idea whom.

I am not understanding how this whole thing works. It sounds completely off the walls. Maybe that is a good reason I never got involved in such a crazy situation. You mentioned making up the loss. Maybe your bill did not jump as much as some but I see no way to make up for a bill even as high as 10...

If you want to understand settler colonialism and its effects upon a city, compare St. Louis or Detroit to Brooklyn. Most "invasive species" don't increase property values by 3000%.

I was told by someone who went to the ERCOT site that Houston and Dallas had the most percentage of customers with outages. Where as San Antonio or Austin for example had a much lower percentage of customers who went without power. So it may be Centerpoint and who ever it is in Dallas, said "h...

I think that one's situation matters a lot. Let's take two folks: Person A rents a poorly insulated house in Wichita and has a heat pump/AC and an electric water heater. and has a young child. Persona B owns a house with a solar array, amazing insulation, and a natural gas generator. FWIW, Person is...

Midway has them for $95.

Isn't theft under $1000 no longer prosecuted in California? If so, would the cops taking statements from the "good witnesses" have done ANYTHING else thereafter? What I see is one more reason to flee that failed state.

Energy expert debunks green narrative on Texas SPOILER ALERT: Wind power let us down, bigtime. I think that it's a reminder of what role renewables play: they're free energy, but they are not reliable. We have sufficient fossil fuel backups on paper, but every type, including the nukes, failed. We ...

The areas Texas not covered by ERCOT were barely affected. Most outages were short: minute to a few hours. Very, very interesting. El Paso was one o’ those areas, but it wasn’t as cold and it didn’t last as long as the cold in the middle of the state. There were public warnings and requests to cons...

AS of today, the month of February has cost me $150 for 267 kwh. $12 of that is a Visa fee (Griddy will only take credit card payments, and I'm using this rough patch for them to beat the drum for ACH again). Given the challenges that others have faced, I consider myself very lucky.

https://www.reuters.com/article/europe-electricity-idUSL8N2KN312 Power in Germany, where they are struggling with the poor power factor of wind and solar to cope with heating demands, was $56/MWh yesterday. That is their norm, versus an average of $13-15 on ERCOT's grid. AOC is trying to cherry pic...

I'm focused upon the temperatures in Midland, since I assume that once temps in the Permian Basis stay above freezing, natural gas will start to flow and energy prices will come down. That's a wild guess, so anyone's insight is more than welcome.

I'm actually doing okay on Griddy; this month is rough, currently $0.486/kwh for $130 on 267 kwh, of which $10 is a credit card fee (they don't have ACH payments, which is my one real gripe with them). I've been stuck in a hospital since Saturday, so I basically turned everything off. My plan is to ...
