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

    Oh yeah, they already left Texas.

      Besides that one time power goes out more often in California. In Texas you just have a temporary price surge you could treat like a blackout if you wanted to. The difference is it’s less often and you have a choice.

        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?

        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.
