And here I thought it was Biden who was going to turn America into a bunch of socialists?

Most markets in Texas outside of the large urban centers are traditional co-op setups.

The one good thing about the deregulated energy market is that you can sign up 6-month introductory rates and get $0.06 per kilowatt-hour electricity. Then you put a reminder in your phone for 6 months away and change companies. You do that every 6 months.

Like a credit card though, if you missed the change you now are moved to a hyper expensive floating rate that is non competitive.

I guess that's a risk/reward thing individual customers need to figure out then. Seems crazy to me and I would want no part of that.

Yea, I am planning to try to get this set up before tornado season kicks off. There is another company out of main that makes nice honda based ones as well. I plan to run on CNG with propane as a back up.

If I had gas lines I'd get a 22k and power the whole house.


As is, I need to consider what my propane usage would be and that might dictate a 7.5k to run the essentials and a space heater.

I wonder how quickly thousands of generators are going to become a problem in a tornado zone

Are you talking about back feeding the lines orrrrrrrrrrrr?

 

[Hauler]

From talking with my wife people closer to Dallas or in city limits tend to have a choice.

You don't have a choice.
They just set it up so you think you have a choice.

If you live where I live you get the co-op or nothing at all.

They seem like a great object for a tornado to throw.

We call them cattle here.

I'm aware. I was just speculating that adding a significant number of 500 lbs objects could potentially turn into a new sort of issue.

Although, I will admit, your saltiness today is impressive.

200 lbs.

We already have 500 lbs objects in peoples back yards, we call them smokers.
We also have AC units, those are heavy and outside.

Based on the tornado documentary I once watched called "Twister" I think tornado damage is mostly cow related.
