Yes, I know and we have a hook up to Mexico to sell them our “extra” electricity.
Re-read the ERCOT 'rules and regs'; any power crossing our borders MUST be repaid in kind ... OTHERWISE the feds get involved. That is the reason Texas is and has stayed out from under FERC control ...

There are a couple of other DC "tie-lines" besides the one with Mexico. They all work the same way (repayment in kind IOW by electricity/power flow flowing back the OTHER way)

This exercise they are going to do includes all the states and Canada and Mexico so they aren’t going to leave out Texas. Hussein wants all of us - a pox on him.

God (that is to say our Federal bureaucrats) forbid that a power company actually, oh, I dunno, make money selling power elsewhere.
