    I bet those businesses who relocated from Cali to Texas are loving those power prices.

    Oh yeah, they already left Texas.

        I haven’t had a power outage in about ten years, between SDG&E, PG&E, and SoCal Edison. Meanwhile, Texas has regular power outages. So just what are you on about?

        Like the time people were freezing to death during a power outage while the governor took a vacation to Cancún?

          Exactly, they were too poor to heat their homes and that was their choice.

            Yeah, if you want a governor abandoning his people, look to Kevin Stitt (Oklahoma) last year when Tulsa was without power for about a week. Lieutenant Governor was out too, literally no one had any idea who was in charge of the state.

        Maybe power is more reliable in central Texas, my family still has no electricity from the derecho that hit Houston. And they lose power frequently from all the heavy storms or hurricanes that pummel the gulf coast.
