Maybe Texas should have some more natural gas plants.
- thghtihadanacct 3y agoNatural gas? I thought they drilled oil there ... They got lots to burn /s. Remember when Texas was saying how much better it is there than Cali or anywhere ... yeah, they didnt mention the fine print.
- thghtihadanacct 3y agoEven better, Texas is like #2 in GDP. Surely, Texas could cede and be a perfectly fine nation unto its own. Granted, it wont be under US protection ... and why would Mexico ever want it back?
- bcrl 3y agoWhy would ceding help? Texas is already running their own electric grid, and they seem to be doing so incompetently. My local LDC (Hydro One) is ridiculously expensive, but we haven't had rolling blackouts anytime aside from the 2003 blackout in my memory.
- sixothree 3y agoThe one thing that amazes me the most about Texas is just how large their GDP is compared to just how poorly they perform on any metric that improves lives.
- squigz 3y agoThese things are related.
- zardo 3y agoProbably more money in price gouging during power shortages than building power plants that usually sit idle.
