Ted, don't get upset. We didn't burn your house down to run you off, we used the wood to stay warm. Guess people thought you didn't need it.

Excellent. I just imagine a power executive with a cigar in mouth angry at his desk reaching on the red phone saying “take him off the air” to his news contact. While he yells he has spittle coming from his mouth and his toupee is flying up.

Most likely William MoneyBags, CEO, of LootAndPlunder electric.
I bet Griddy was all giddy about expected profits.

The Republican leaders and followers want no regs because otherwise the state becomes a socialist or communist place with lines for water and food and no electricity to stay warm.
Oh wait, that is what we got due to this failure. Thank goodness it is a republican hell hole, not socialist.
How is that Griddy supplied power pricing working out?

UPDATE 2-Electric firm Griddy loses access to Texas grid, customers shifted to rivals
(Adds ERCOT faces $2 billion shortfall)
HOUSTON, Feb 26 (Reuters) - Texas's power grid operator on Friday canceled Griddy Energy LLC's access to the state's power network, and shifted all its customers to other utilities, according to a notice by the grid operator.
Griddy was the power marketer that sold consumers power at wholesale rates, which rose to $9,000 per megawatt hour for days as cold weather struck the state last week. A request for comment was not immediately returned. A phone number listed on its website was not connected Friday afternoon.
Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) said it had begun transferring about 10,100 Griddy customers to one or more rival providers on Friday. Retail power providers that do not pay invoices within 72 hours can have all their customers reassigned to other electricity providers.
ERCOT separately said $2 billion went unpaid from grid users this week, according to an official notice, another sign of the financial devastation from high electricity rates that has spread from consumers to utilities.
