'How in the world can anyone pay that?': Some seeing electric bills as high as $17K in wake of Texas winter storm
2021-02-20
[WFAA] If you were on a variable or indexed plan, your rate — and therefore, your electric bill — may have skyrocketed.
That happens sometimes, when you choose not to have a fixed rate. I’m sure the electric company will let them pay it off over time.

#7  You mean you can't plug your house into your Tesla?

DC anyways, right? Watching your food go bad, not a grocery store for 400 miles, and don't have a fu king power inverter. *cue California Dreaming*

Anyways, the short answer to pay off that debt is 6 months working the oil patch. Learn to drill.

That truck is starting to look better and better, the guy must be telling his wife in 3 more months the truck will have paid for itself, when compared to our neighbor's electric bill.
