why should tax payers have to pay for Texans high utility bills?

Texas power market is short $2.1 billion in payments after freeze

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas, which operates the state's power grid, said Friday electric retailers had failed to make $2.12 billion in required payments, about 17% of the total amount owed for a stretch of last week.

Ercot, which collects that money and uses it to pay operators of power plants, said it would use $800 million in a revenue account to pay them for some of what they are owed but would be $1.32 billion short.

It also said it had initiated drawing collateral payments from the retailers who didn't settle their bills, a sign that some may no longer be solvent.

I've never once heard the Governor of California, its legislature or its politicians call for secession from the Untied States.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

Just its citizens. Continually trying to get it on the ballot. What politicians in Texas called for secession from the U.S. ?

Not a word about the Government paying for people's electricity.

It refers only to power generating facilities getting waivers from the DOE to generate more power despite possible ecological harm.

Who do you think is paying for the Fed Govt part of that power generation?

Wait a minute. Are you claiming that taxpayers are PAYING extra for power generating stations to generate power?

Nope...sorry, that's not happening.

The only people paying are the customers who benefit from the generation of the extra power.

No. We are paying for the higher cost of harm to the environment because California's electrical grid sucks ass. Like everything else in that state.
