If this is true, this is beyond unconscionable. @GreggAbbott_Tx @tedcruz you guys need to get on this and fast. It is not the resident's fault for the power failure in #Texas during the #WinterStorm. The citizens should not pay for the state's failure. https://t.co/1TwvkRQZBv

"With the extreme weather, energy usage has soared, pushing up wholesale power prices to more than $9,000 per megawatt hour — compared to the seasonal average of $50 per megawatt hour." https://t.co/vuX21XCW0y

Ouch. Texas startup offered domestic customers the opportunity to pay wholesale electricity prices for a $10/month fee. Worked fine till this week’s storm, but now they face bills of tens of thousands https://t.co/fLWYCltHDJ

As much as leftists hate to hear it, there are no systems better than unregulated capitalism, which is why Texans are getting $20,000 electricity bills but no electricity during a deadly freeze. https://t.co/dbsfVaSvZ5

As Texas deep freeze subsides, some households now face electricity bills as high as $10,000 https://t.co/kY33q2I8tE via @nbcnews ???

Imagine getting a $10,000 power bill for a week of crappy service. This is apparently how they designed the system to "work." https://t.co/0WkZg2YTO9

Then, @Robogeek started asking great questions. Not sure how/why this happened. Starts at 43:37 of the stream (linked on 1st tweet of this thread), he asked the @PUCTX about the @NBCNews story that said some Tx customers would have $10,000 electric bills. https://t.co/jwAO2CU1Ha

New from me: people are being slapped with sky high electricity bills in TX and there is no state relief for the cost in sight https://t.co/fgiQ5CTnjo

In Texas, a VACANT 2 bedroom house with all the LIGHTS OFF & thermostat set to 60° has monthly electric bills averaging $125-$150. Compare that with yours. Then decide if “electricity in Texas is cheaper.” Or, they’re just suckers for Republicanism.https://t.co/2X7lCOeiAQ

Spoke to a Houston homeowner yesterday who typically pays around $40 in energy bills. At last check the company told her she owed them $9000. https://t.co/a1EKvZe4Ec
The magic of the free market -- for-profit, unregulated, privatized, prices set by supply-and-demand -- works for oil tycoons but shafts everyone else. https://t.co/Gcth3Mn6uP

On top of all that, a lot of people are facing electricity bills far and above what is sane. Deregulation at it's finest.https://t.co/blSKtGxmhE

Texas families are being hit with mult-thousand dollar electric bills because of the winter storm. Anyone with auto-pay enabled should disable it immediately.https://t.co/x0oz6A9vNZ
