There’s An App For That
We have another joyful gift courtesy of electric deregulation in Texas, that crappy idea sold to us by those “run government like a business” crowd.
The Texas electrical grid operator introduced an app for smartphones that will alert users to conserve energy during emergencies.
Do you know what constitutes “an emergency” in Texas? Weather. Normal weather. Hot days.
Yep – that’s their solution to weather in Texas – sweat in the dark.
Okay, it’s 9:20 in the morning and already I hate Republicans today. Fix the damn power grid, you fools. We did not get a reduction in rates through deregulation, but we did get screwed.
Sorry, I’ll cut back on my morning caffeine.
