(3,638 posts)US average KwH was 15.5 cents in September
It was 13.5 cents for Texas.
Average bill is well above average. But average cost is lower.
Not an Abbott fan but he wasn't lying about that.

(13,776 posts)... maybe you shouldn't be the governor of a border state such as Texas.
Seriously. Each state comes with unique issues that other states don't have to deal with. Abbott clearly can't handle this issue in a humane or responsible manner.
Good post, renate.

(22,171 posts)literally forever, these sorts of lies by idiotic politicians such as this Texas governor goes far to damage their reputations when their lying is so easily spotted, and the lying is confirmed/verified online too.
No wonder blue states get so riled up when these political hacks such as the TX governor lie so openly and don't act as the adults in the room. I wouldn't wonder why no one wants to help those in red states, when their politicians won't grow up and lie through their teeth on anything and everything.
Remember, these scumbag FL and TX governors illegally shipped human beings across their state borders (including in one story, some who were American citizens (so kidnapping should be charged, a federal crime)).
Abbott should apologize. He won't, being the indecent human being that he is, in being a 'coyote' and illegally transporting human beings across state borders, not talking to New York state in advance (remember, you are dealing w/ human beings, you could at least have the decency to let the receiving party of these people know what's coming so they can be better prepared and don't take out your frustrations on NY state, and other northern states/blue states).
You are being ignorant, inhuman, and most of all, you're a monster in playing this game along w/ desantis.
