A drunk will run a STOP sign, but a stoner will wait for it to turn green.


His Lights Stayed on During Texas’ Storm. Now He Owes $16,752.***

Humm. At first I'm like I'd turn off my own power and go

Without for that price. Second thought is what is the price comparison between that electric bill from keeping the lights on versus busted water pipes?

Conclusion you pay either way. Makes me want to do that pipe insulating project under the house even more.

And buy some Genercac stonk

maybe, but this particular fubar is mostly about "Texas being

Texas"... they have their own power system... they want no part of being on the national grid. As somebody said a few days ago, seems like every time they start talking about seceding from the US, a catastrophic event happens and they need federal aid...

looking for intervention and stifling regulations from Big Government.

Get a job and pay your power bill instead of whining and looking for bailouts.

wow, $9 per kW-hour. I pay $0.10 kwr with Duke

Insanity.

But I went without power for two different 1-week spans this past year due to storms. I'm to the point that I can get along just fine without power for days. Brings out the camper/outdoorsman in you.

Same here, with nothing but a kerosene heater and candles. Close

off the den so I'm only heating one room, sleep on queen size air mattress with several blankets. Boil water on top of heater and make coffee with grounds in a handkerchief. Cook meals on top of heater. Empty fridge & freezer into coolers and put on screen porch. Cold beer is cold beer. I'm good...
