minus-square@CriticalResist8Alink5•3 years agoSo how’s the situation evolving in Texas? How are people racking up 10k in debt over energy? Last I heard (at the beginning of the crisis) there was no power anywhere.
minus-square@CriticalResist8Alink4•3 years agoI figured it was gonna be something like that but I didn’t want to believe it :(
minus-square@Axaoe@lemmy.mllinkfedilink3•3 years agoIf you don’t mind a NY Times link I found this one interesting: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/20/us/texas-storm-electric-bills.html Especially for users who gave their banking information and had automatic payments setup things look quite grim. The 10yr repayment plan is an insane thing to think about in the context of a utility.
