This is in Texas, not Colorado, you retarded urbanite shill.

If you're dead in the water when the grid goes down I don't think you get to call other people urbanites anymore.

My power situation is fine and dandy. Retarded urbies are always going to be retarded urbies. If that makes you seethe then move into the country and get yourself some kind of generator lmao.

Bro, I just said on the last page I have a generator that I can run my heat off because I live in a predominately rural province where the power goes out all the time. The grid has gone down for over a week multiple times in my adult life.

Coal is better then gas for reliability because you can stock pile it on site. It doesn't depend on a complicated pipeline system that may not be flowing.

That may be. But gas is a lot cleaner than coal. I was talking more in general terms. In the context of dealing with extreme weather or other interruptions, I agree - I hadn't thought of that.

For me the worst part isn't the cold or the cumbersomeness that snow causes for me getting around, it's that people take this opportunity to let their pet shit anywhere and not pick it up, thinking that the snow will just cover it up.

Yes and when Spring comes there are just mushy dog turds everywhere because they were preserved in the snow

Holy shit, the bills are coming in for the electrical and natural gas.

They're ugly.

I've heard of some people getting hit with outrageous bills. Like $5-$12K. Supposedly that has to do with their billing type, but still, holy shit.

I know I got hit pretty hard.

Yeah, it's people who signed up for variable rates with Griddy who are getting the massive bills. You buy the energy wholesale, so when the demand increases the bills do as well, hence the ridiculous bills.

Companies selling at fixed rates had to keep charging their customers whatever price is in the contract while the company has to pay the inflated costs for the energy. I read that one company is on the hook for nearly $2billion.

Lose/lose for the customers, either they get a massive bill or their energy provider's gonna be in so much debt it'll have to close up shop.

If all or most of the power companies go down then how sustainable is keeping the lights on for Texas?
