Jackpot! Time for Texans to pay,
and pay some more:"Obviously, this week is like hitting the jackpot." That's what Roland Burns, president and chief financial officer of Comstock Resources, Inc., a shale drilling company, told investors on an earnings call earlier this week, according to NPR.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that Burns' comments are a reminder of why the fossil fuel industry and aligned politicians are opposed to the Green New Deal even as its necessity becomes clearer.
The (severe) downside of having your electric bill automatically deducted from your bank account. Praying that a similar situation never evolves here. SMUD held it together in Sacramento through the 2000/1 electricity crisis, but there’s always tomorrow. And there’s always PG&E to worry about, should they ever get tired of burning down entire counties.
The system is working exactly as designed. At this rate,
Texas will be an enraged mob of rampaging socialists by May. Make Antifa look like amateurs:
Dallas resident DeAndre Upshaw said it was "very shocking" when he opened his latest electricity bill.
"While I'm trying to get gas and groceries and make sure that my pipes don't explode, the last thing I'm thinking about is a $7,000 bill from my utility company," Upshaw told CNN's Fredricka Whitfield via Skype Saturday.
