I've gone down the rabbit hole to try to understand (ignorant here) why Texas doesn't want to join the others. Bottom line, is it cheaper for folks living there? I just keep seeing articles stating "independence from the government" but that doesn't make sense to me. There are times that one area can give to another, and get $$ for sharing...
This is one article that I've tried to educate myself, and may be slanted? I have no idea. I just don't understand why any state would not want to share and cost share.
Can anyone enlighten me past this article for which I'm just learning? Why does Texas have its own power grid?
Before they deregulated power in Texas, my electric ran towards $1000 a month for AC. Now, it’s barely $150.00 per month. Same house, same windows etc. Competition must have driven prices down. I’m not sure of the entire power deregulation history but that’s a HUGE difference to me.
