The Electricity Reliability Council of Texas, is asking residents and businesses to reduce electricity use between 3pm and 7pm today and the rest of the week as temperatures in our area reach triple digits.And TexasVOX reports:
The leading cause of weather related deaths in the U.S. is due to heat, yet during one of worst heat waves in state history, Texas is holding onto millions of dollars intended to help hundreds of thousands of elderly and low-income residents pay their electric bills.There has been more brownouts during the last year than I can remember during the previous 18 years. We even had one during a freeze. Some how this deregulation crap hasn't worked out like they claimed providing low cost, reliable, electricity.
According to TexasVOX, there is a fund to help the elderly when temperatures soar, but the funds have been diverted in order to pay for Rick Perry's mismanagement of the budget. Talk about compassionate conservatives!
