Ok so is that in long run worth the current issues? Unless the high NG gauging gets fully passed on to customers. I'm hearing it can be up to $300/day.
So wondering...did deregulation help innovation and investment into other forms? Ie..would windmills/solar been a viable option if we didn't deregulate? Serious question...I'm seriously trying to reevaluate/formulate an opinion on the subject. Obviously to late to judge a past decision today, but nothing wrong with learning to help future decisions/opinions.
Obviously CA shows us how full Regulation isn't the answer, so where is the happy median?..who knows but would be good to know. Even if just a thought exercise.

Regarding thought exercises; has there been any discussion of hooking up the Texas grid to either the eastern or western grid so that electricity can be imported to Texas in times of severe need? Could it provide redundancy without paying for a lot of new capacity that sits idle most of the time? I know nothing on the topic, just wondering.
