electric bill has soared after the winter storm in texas

Unless they can prove it was intentional, producers and suppliers working together to gouge people, the best people are likely to get is a payment plan.
Way to shoot yourselves in the foot, Texans. Welcome to the downside of deregulated free markets.

We have the choice to go with whichever provider we choose. Most people opt to go with a fixed rate for 6-12-24 months or whatever, and it costs a little more. Then there are people that go with a variable rate plan to save money, and in this case, the rate went up and they got caught. However, I do think there should be safeguards against drastic rate hikes such as this.

Yep, Texas doesn't want that. Better frozen to death without water and on their own than federally regulated, that's Texas. How's that working out for them?

And now again...Texas can't deliver power in extreme weather....the kind they always have. I wonder how many will die this time. It's impossible to live in Texas without AC for most people under normal temperatures, and outright deadly during heat waves.

The stars at night, are big and bright,
Deep in the heart of Texas,
It could be 'cause, they don't have lights,
Deep in the heart of Texas

As a side note, estimates are as high as 700 who died in Texas from lack of power, in California that number is 1, and that man died 12 minutes after losing power, he didn't slowly freeze to death.
