1625: Call me Bill

Texas Winter Storm, ERCOT Pricing, and Utility Control

Record cold temperatures in the Texas Hill Country prompt a discussion on the state's power grid and ERCOT's decision to increase gas turbine prices to $400 per megawatt hour. Reports emerge of smart thermostats in Fredericksburg being remotely limited to 70 degrees by city services during the freeze. A separate account details a water company in Wimberley harassing residents for increased usage despite a higher occupancy in the home.
