Then he quits like a ****. Tim, by the way, the word you are looking for is “you’re”, not “your.” If you can’t speak American, get on out of my country.

TradeTheBeal! Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Just talked to a buddy of mine in Austin. 1). It’s 20 degrees and they’re gonna get 9 hours of wintry mix overnight. 2). They’re on a 3 hour on/off rolling blackout schedule until Friday at the earliest. 3). The hot tub has frozen solid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
China Posted February 17, 2021 Author Share Posted February 17, 2021 Electricity retailer Griddy’s unusual plea to Texas customers: Leave now before you get a big bill Some retail power companies in Texas are making an unusual plea to their customers amid a deep freeze that has sent electricity prices skyrocketing: Please, leave us. Power supplier, Griddy, told all 29,000 of its customers that they should switch to another provider as spot electricity prices soared to as high as $9,000 a megawatt-hour. Griddy’s customers are fully exposed to the real-time swings in wholesale power markets, so those who don’t leave soon will face extraordinarily high electricity bills. “We made the unprecedented decision to tell our customers — whom we worked really hard to get — that they are better off in the near term with another provider,” said Michael Fallquist, chief executive officer of Griddy. “We want what’s right by our consumers, so we are encouraging them to leave. We believe that transparency and that honesty will bring them back” once prices return to normal. Texas is home to the most competitive electricity market in America. Homeowners and businesses churn power providers there like credit cards. In the face of such cutthroat competition, retail power providers in the region have grown accustomed to offering new customers incredibly low rates, incentives and, at least in Griddy’s case, unusual plans that allow customers to pay wholesale power prices as opposed to fixed ones. The ruthless nature of the business has power traders speculating over which firms might have been caught short this week in the most dramatic run-up in spot power prices they’ve ever seen. Not all companies are asking customers to leave. Others are just pleading for them to cut back. Pulse Power, based in The Woodlands, Texas, is offering customers a chance to win a Tesla Model 3, or free electricity for up to a year if they reduce their power usage by 10% in the coming days. Austin-based Bulb is offering $2 per kilowatts-hour, up to $200, for any energy customers save. Click on the link for the full article 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yohan Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 We had had two lake effect systems hit us yesterday, one coming down from Canada and one from the East off Lake Michigan. Dumped around 17”, making the total around 40” over the past three weeks. when it hasn’t been snowing, it’s been single digits, and into the negatives. The snow mounds are taller then my mail box. I’m not the biggest fan of the snow, but I do enjoy snowmobiling and riding the Fat Bike in this stuff. I did grill ribeyes this evening as well. I do not know how much snow you peeps are getting, but make sure your furnace vent tubes (PVC pipes coming out of your house) are cleared of snow. This prevents your furnace from shutting down and keeps you warm. Stay safe all! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, paying for (and expecting) electricity is now socialism? Everyone should be able to provide heat and water to their families? No **** Sherlock, that’s what we pay those bills. Hope he didn’t complain about the grocery store shortages last year... I really hope the politic junkies who make-believe elected officials actually ****ing matter in this country, don't leak their meaningless, existanting-less drivel come in to this thread. Or the RTT, or the music thread. Because you don't change s***, FYI. And just clutter up the vibe. With wah wah radio. Which we, the hard, change the channel.

Simmsy Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Gotta love how the mayor, who was elected to represent and help these people, basically tells them to **** off. Calls them lazy, because he doesn't want to do his own job. This, ladies and gentlemen, is why America cannot be run like a business...ever! Anyways, I don't know what the weather will actually be like, but I plan on staying home no matter what. I don't have anything scheduled for tomorrow anyways.
