Quote History Quoted:
Just curious, but are y'all willing to pay for the winterizing via increased utility cost or more in taxes?

My understanding is that if some minor winterizing had been done, it would have cost nearly nothing and would have limited us to the rolling blackouts that we initially were expecting. 15 minutes without power every 3 hours.
I'm willing to pay under a dollar more for my power each year to keep people from dying in freak winter storms.
Instead, we have corporations that tried so save a buck, that neglected seasonal preps, and now the state and individuals have billions of dollars of repairs to do. You thought your homeowners insurance went up after the black mold issue? Wait until you see how it increases over the next few years!
You're going to be paying
much more for this disaster (in many other ways) than it would have cost in increased power costs if they had winterized.
