lmao lmao.
Reminder that Texas is a separate grid, which is deregulated and financialized, according to neoliberal ideals of efficiency.

I would never live in Texas but if I did I would have like 20kW of batteries on the wall of my McMansion’s garage and a generator, they would pay for themselves within a couple years of this bullshit
the inevitable end for those with the wealth to survive the mortgaging of our utilities. you will have to have water treatment too because the water from your municipality or well will not be safe
That is the solution most people go for. Rather than get mad and demand power be a public utility, rugged individualism prevails, everyone who can buys a generator, and the poor get shamed for being idiots for not buying one and deserving to suffer for their mistake. I’m still a bit bitter arguing with people that the government should do basic infrastructure spending on the power grid and being told instead everyone should only look out for themselves. I’m glad I moved out.
Idk about texas but there’s lots of places in amerika where it’s illegal to be off grid, or have your own power generation.
laaaaand of the freeeeeee
Very uncommon Texas W I guess because you can get generators at the hardware store here
Probably after a single price surge, even
