This is like paying people to stop masturbating outside an elementary school. It benefits no one, makes things worse for everyone, and they're obsessed with it.

All power markets (as opposed to grid load adjustment plans) are insane. They are an instantiation of neoliberal ideology into the real world and have been used for nothing but scams since Enron.

And these same people were very much okay with taking the life savings away from people during the outage in 2021. Those people were on a variable rate plan and the electric companies jacked up the KWh rate into the thousands for those who had power.

But think of all the ways they’ve added value to your everyday life! You CAN’T put a price tag on that. 🙄

You don't incentive someone to do this. You charge them up the ass or you cut their power.

I also did not mine Bitcoin in Texas. I believe I deserved to be compensated.

Mmmm. In Spain that doesn't work that way. I think we have a system which makes energy cheaper for some factories and in exchange the energy admin can tell them to stop working when it's needed.

You have to wonder what local media is telling Texans about what's going on. You also have to wonder what vote suppression mechanisms are in place, that the state gov't never seems to be punished for these decisions.
