- epistasis 2y agoAnd at the moment additions to the grid are mostly an open free market. My fear is that they will change that to stop renewable energy. Many places that are extremely anti-renewable for partisan political reasons, such as Montana, have been caught on tape changing regulations to highly regulate and stymie solar. Texas has not been that way and I think there's probably a >50% chance that Texas Republicans on that commission will continue to choose the free market over blocking renewables. But there is a risk.
