Nothing was done a decade ago when this last happened.

A once in a decade occurrence? Texas's current Repub leadership won't be around in ten years so don't hold your breath waiting for them to do changes now. The only chance Texas has is if they start electing Democrats.

I wonder what comes out when you whack the pinata? It surely isn't candy.

Speaking of Ted Cruz, whiney snowflake extraordinaire, some polls are showing a distinct amount of disapproval after last week's hijinks to Cancun. Maybe it was that picture of Ted's poodle shivering in an empty house while the family was away? Poor pooch.

Texas Electric Bills Were $28 Billion Higher Under Deregulation
Competition in the electricity-supply business promised reliable power at a more affordable cost

From that liberal rag, the WSJ.

This is what happens when you elect Repubes to run you state, morons! ROFL.
