Good way to cause expansion renewables and batteries.

Yup. Central Texas here. Have a 14kW solar system and 28kWh of battery backup. I haven’t touched the grid in months. Fuck these assholes.

I actually meant grid level expansion. But that too.

All they have done is free market supply and demanded the grid. That's why Texas has more solar than any other state, the market is working. Though it does have some downsides.
