Texas residents are ending up with $5,000 electric bills after the winter storms

February was Chinese lunar New Year's day, I received a t*xt from my da*ghter said "Happy Chinese New Year!!" and next t*xt she said "It's icy here". My da*ghter has been working at a hospital as an OB/GYN MD in Texas since late June of 2020. She has worked in Detroit since her MD graduation in June 20' (I've attended every her graduation) for her residency MD program for a year. Then she moved Northern California for a year, then moved 2 New York for another year. T* be a MD is a long journey.

In my impression of Texas is a warm, h*t, dry state, full of oil wells and cows. This year the winter storm in Texas has changed my image of Texas. I watched the TV, internet news, Texas is in crisis. Here is some summary of Texas winter storms that never happened in the past century.

Some Texans were billed $1,000 a day for electricity during last week's frigid weather.
The wholesale pr*ce of electricity surged ,000 % as demand increased and supply fell offline.
Texas residents endured days without power during last week's winter storms are facing a new obstacle: Electricity bills over $5,000 for less than a week of energy.

Some customers of the state-owned electric grid are seeing the eye-popping, five-figure power bills because their plans are tied to the wholesale market . In the Dallas-Fort Worth area, residents have been with $1,000 day charges for electricity, The Dallas Morning News reported. Residents have taken social media or other outlets show $5,000 bills - or more- over a period of about 5 days.

Power outrage (no heater), water shortage (water pipes exploded), snow, icy cold weather has k*lled at least 21 people already. Some people burned their furniture get warm, some even got their house burned down, the fire fighters can't put out of fire because no water. They watched the house burn down itself. Some people cooked snow flush their toilets.

President Joe Biden faces his first weather challenge since his inauguration. President Biden declares major disaster in Texas.

The wholesale price of electricity surged ,000 % as demand increased and supply fell offline. Asia Friendfinder automatic censor machine deleted 10,000 percent. If Asia Friendfinder delete this comment again, I will write as ten thousand percent.

I don't understand the words "daughter" "text" can be deleted.

AFF automatic censorship machine kept editing my profile, my blogs and my comments. It censored the word "daughter", "10", "to", "text", "k*ll", and many others. I am frustrated and suspect Chinese FriendFinder belong to CCP.

I have resided in Southern California for 41.5 years. Southern California's weather is warm and comfortable. The only concern is "earthquake".
