Those are pretty rich delusions coming from someone calling out delusions. DT, a thrice married adulterer, never gone to church, with 91 (and counting criminal charges) a model of conservative values, um ok. Highly likely, you haven't even read any of the indictments. How much did the Trump administration contribute to the national debt? Maybe consider a visit to https://wtfhappenedin1971.com/ Facts are facts, opinions disguised as facts not-so-much. The current Republican party has no alignment with traditional conservative values, that mental model needs to be updated.
I just don't understand what you critics of this arrangement are missing. The power grid needs to be stable. It can't turn on and off like a light switch since the loads need to be balanced. The best type of customer who is one who uses lots of power, but can shut down at a moment's notice. Wouldn't this be something a utility wants to pay extra for? What home owner wants to be told to turn off their AC, and especially when it gets hot outside? But if you make a contract in advance that a huge user of power will do as told, it makes sense that this customer is compensated in order to prevent the entire grid from going out. Its the same thing in the airline industry. They over-sell seats since they know some people don't show up. But if everyone shows up, a few can't actually fly. So what do they do? Give out an incentive for someone to skip their flight by paying them. But if its just before Xmas, good luck getting someone to skip visiting the family. So it costs quite a bit until they find customers willing to walk away. It can generally be easily $1000 paid in cash in order for a willing passenger to walk away. But this now allows the plane to leave and let everyone else get to where they are going. If nobody takes the offer, this is where it gets ugly, just like a blackout. People fight, they end up having to call the cops, and the flight is delayed, and never mind the reputational damage to the airline. So a miner who uses lots of power but is willing to stop using power in exchange for compensation is actually a huge benefit for the grid. So people, educate yourself before thinking you know everything.

If only that poster really represented today's Republican Party accurately. Individuals (in Texas and elsewhere) yes, the party hell no.
Interesting Space regarding SEC, Energy, BTC, Crypto, etc. Not rah rah crypto, pretty grounded and balanced. https://twitter.com/i/spaces/1OyJAVjpPrqxb?s=20
yeah. We get it. But come on. It’s odd when the most profitable line item for a company is not running.
You think that the airlines are overbooked during XMAS? FAA-regs require that the passenger is entitled to 400% of what they paid if no arrangements are offered. How often do you think this happens? I've never seen it while traveling on XMAS. I've seen it twice when flying to the Caribbean, lifetime. You have to be some precious type of idiot to think that implicit extortion (curtailing mining ops) is a valid operating business model. Balancing the power grid? Are you r*tarded?
