Greed and The Grid: Texas energy expert's theory about our high electricity bills

from Y'all-itics · host WFAA

As we get ready to simmer through another summer in Texas, keep an eye on the grid. The fragility of electricity supply in Texas has been an issue since the near total collapse of the grid in the winter of 2021. University of Houston Energy Fellow Ed Hirs says the 'fixes' since haven't been enough. He sees the potential for summer days where supply might have trouble keeping up with growing demand. And even if there is enough power to go around, he explains why we are paying more for it. Guest: Ed Hirs, Energy Fellow, University of Houston
