California had an electricity crisis back in 2000-2001, and we did not even have a storm to blame, people got together, including the British, and they screwed Californians for forty five billion dollars.

Californians learned the hard way.
In Anaheim we own our own electricity company, and we sell electricity to Disneyland, etc, and some of the money goes to helping the homeless people, etc, and some of the money goes into a general fund to be spent by the people however we want.
With things like water, and electricity, I am all for public ownership of the companies by the cities, etc. Each city can have their own power company like Anaheim.
And then too, in California, every new house has to have solar panels.
My Mother has solar panels in the desert, and she loves them, she loves the low cost, and she loves that she is helping to create a cleaner environment. She also has a swimming pool, so she likes the cheap power to run the pool filter, etc. And she has a great air conditioner to cool her home in the summer, and it all runs on the solar power. She loves solar power.
Anyhow, the cities in Texas might look at how Anaheim does public utilities.
