Sure, shivering in your unheated house sucks, but at least Texans can drown their sorrows in plentiful, safe drinking water-- oh... Texas power outages: Officials warn of low water supply; nearly 3 million households without electricity https://www.texastribune.org/2021/02/17/texas-winter-storm-power-outage-ercot/
The governor is trying to pass the buck and blame others.... it is not going very well. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is 'passing the buck' on power grid failures https://www.rawstory.com/greg-abbott-burned-passing-buck/
There should be a law against that type of price gauging of the consumer like that. Reminds me about early in the Pandemic...pharmacies selling $20 bottle (10oz) of Hydrogen Peroxide that I had purchase a week early before the pandemic for $1.99 Amazon, stores, pharmacies took advantage of people during a health crisis... Now Power companies taking advantage of people during a power outage involving those that do have power as if those people need to compensate the power company for the lost income from other customers that have no power.

"The Freedom-loving, "Invisible Hand"-worshipping governor of Texas goes full socialist and effectively nationalizes Texas' supply of natural gas, ordering none can be shipped out of state until Texas power plants have all they need." Texas governor limits out-of-state natural gas shipments amid power shortages https://thehill.com/homenews/state-...out-of-state-natural-gas-shipments-amid-power Here is a hint for the governor.... this is why nearly all the other states have properly regulated electric utility markets.
