Bet you this guy has never actually worked in a power plant, so doesn't have a real life understanding of how things actually work in these plants when the weather gets bad. From the Control Room to the Tech in the field. Bet you he's never racked MV/HV breakers in & out or opened/closed aerial switches in adverse weather conditions in a flash suit. Bet you he's never done any real maintenance on Instrumentation in a gas fired power plant when it's freezing outside, bet you he has no understanding of what works vs what doesn't. Bet you he has never worked on anything to do with a Gas Turbine Generator or Feed Gas Distribution Systems, besides paper. Bet he doesn't know the basics of power distribution. Bet you his information comes 2'nd, 3'rd, 4'th, 5'th hand. Bet you he knows everything on the subject matter though.  Wish you would quit this chit already and just drive your truck. This my BIL chit is wearing everybody out. I mean no disrespect to you or your profession Sir.  How do you know If was talking about you? There is a reason I mention my BIL every time, and have mentioned more then once I know nothing about the industry..... its because I am relaying knowledge to inform those who want to be informed, and also for those who are missed informed..... Hay man, tell me what false info I've passed on....

That doesn't sound right at all, let me ask my BIL. I mentioned this in a post a couple of days ago, and that is why the blame game is going on. About, that 9000 kwh some one said 1500 then another said 15000, and I said I had heard 9000.... its not like I know what is going on in the industry, because I don't, but I know a guy..... And he is maybe getting 3rd-5th party info. We are of the opinion that he is FOS and deflecting to try and save his job in the industry which I get. You keep throwing info out that he tells you as if it is "true" with no way to fact check said info. Just believe what he says since he is in the industry and what he is telling me is fact. F that....

I'm serious about us going fishing one of these days though. Well you should know by now, that just because you want me to stop, I will keep on going just to get under your skin...... I'm not opposed to going fishing with you.... maybe I'll even tell you what my BIL does for a living

Do you know who they buy power from? It still may trickle down to you. It already has. Co-op I'm in said that they were forced by law into investing in green energy. They weren't happy about it either. They have a mandatory dedicated area in their lobby about solar and green energy too. Whether you want to, or not, you are paying for this crap.

Oh yeah, when you add additional power generating resources a certain % of it has to be wind or solar. Since growth has to take place, all are investing, directly or indirectly, in some sort of green energy.
and - by 2035 we'll be completely carbon neutral. That's right. Look it up. Feel better about yourselves.
Foot note thought - all this green energy intended to create American jobs will result in our getting flooded with solar panels from China. Just a hunch.

The same government that extorts money from it's citizens and gives that money to foreign nations is telling Texas what to do with its' energy. It is time for a divorce from them.

Do you know who they buy power from? It still may trickle down to you. I’m not sure about that. We’ll probably get hammered on the delivery charge. Last months bill came, the cutoff date was 2/12.

My bill was through the 2/18. My usage was down over the last bill. The price per kwh was the same. 8.9 cents.
The City of Denton is my supplier and I cannot change suppliers. The rate is variable according to their website, but I do not know if they will adjust it on a later date.
We lost power 2 times. Both on 2/15 for 20 minutes each.
