[Willie Green]

Partly because of a historical desire for self-sufficiency and partly because of that famous "Don't Mess With Texas!" attitude.
The local utilities that comprise ERCOT have pledged not to sell their power to interstate customers.

An admirable, but ironic background for a state that has foisted NAFTA dependency and Enron Energy trading on the rest of the nation.
Texas, thy name is hypocrisy.

Ignorance, thy name is Willie Green.

NAFTA came from Washington, not Texas. Texans have little use for that cesspool to the south, other than a fine place to import yard workers from.

Enron energy trading was ironically enough, a product of California democrats. Notice Texas has no power problems and did deregulation right.

Texas did not foist Enron on the rest of the nation. Wall Street demanded that Enron do innovative things to get the share price up.

Texas, thy name is hypocrisy.

Naw willie,,,,, it's success. By not having AC ties to the other grids the Texas Utilities aren't under the juridiction of FERC...... Local control or are you in favor of national control?

Watch out or we'll cut off your gas supply too and let you freeze in the dark!

[Damagro]

No hypocrisy Willie. Private Texas companies will sell you natural gas and coal to produce your own electricity. The problem is, most of the elitists don't want to produce their own power because the generating plants aren't pretty.
