I guess I am having difficult understanding. Is the electrical grid broken? What is broken about it? How come it worked fine until fairly recently?

Couldn’t the electric company mine its own Bitcoin to reduce the cost to users and “use up” excess electricity?

Something else going on here?

It’s a weird scheme and would do nothing to fix frozen wind turbines.

It worked fine while Big T was in office.

It isn’t broken except for the new “big freeze fee” of $25/mo. we’re now seeing on our bills.

I’m not seeing any fixing but I’d sure like an explanation why they’re building new gazebos and flower gardens.

Don’t get me started on why we were without power when the hydro plant produces enough energy for the summer tourists but couldn’t keep the winter 6% occupied homes with lights here and sent our power down south. Oh, maybe, just like our water supply and gazebo costs, we have to send our power and that $25/mo. to South TX.

Its not so much broken as its compromised thanks to that idiot T. Boone Pickens and his dimwit twin Rick Perry screwing up the source of energy and having mass migration into Texas. It needs more coal or nuclear plants and this green energy sh!t needs to be flushed. If a home owner wants a windmill or solar panels, fine. But to put millions of people under its unreliabilty when the state is sitting on one of the largest natural gas reserves in the world is beyond stupid! Abbott is no help. He needs to go!
