So POWER companies telling us the truth about the GRID,meanwhile GregAbbott_TX busing folks across state lines in the middle of the freeze Christmas early morning •18 outside & y’all wanna say he WON election…
My light bill get conserved so why should I do the same
Buy a whole house generator like we did and you’ll have no issues with the (grid) which by the way is pathetic…
This has to be fake new Governor Abbott said the grid and we all know he wouldn’t lie. 😒
Greg Abbott's laws....keeping Texans warm
This is nothing more than a scare tactic headline. It literally says “as ERCOT grid holds steady”. That means there isn’t a power issue.
Negative. You lobbied a bill that gave you a blank check to double the rates so that you can obtain even more record profits. Greedy
Here we fucking go!!!
Remember when they did nothing and thought the outcome would be different
Fix the damn grid instead of begging people to make unnecessary sacrifices.
