Texas isn’t moving back to blue, this is CNN wet dream fodder.
Your last line is a bit funny, considering a Texan pays less than the national average for utilities. Cheap gas at the pump, cheap natural gas.

Again, I really recommend you don't move here. It just wouldn't be a good fit. You should stay in Iowa where it's safe for you.
Again, it was a major historic event. Out of 30 million people, 246 died, many of which died for reasons unrelated to the grid. Extremely sad and unfortunate, but also extremely rare and unlikely.
Improvements are great, but being disconnected from the rest of the country will eventually cost you all again.
Look, CA has issues too (especially with PG&E) , but the idea that TX is some libertarian nirvana is comical.
Quite possibly. Time will tell.
@joelbc1 play over here for a while.
Ya, I don't buy into all that or the "let's secede from the union" BS.
Has anyone here said this or is that just another sound bite being regurgitated? Another common belief—the Ruggedly Individualistic Textards all want to leave the Union.
Sure, it's often mentioned when people discuss migration from state to state.
We don't have state income taxes but we sure the heck pay a lot of fees and other taxes
Yeah that's why I moved here in 1990 to Austin but it makes zero sense right now to move to Austin. It's extremely expensive and there's traffic out the wazoo and all the Californians are moving here
Everybody wanted to want to move for California decades. Same thing will happen to Florida and Texas. Their infrastructure particularly Florida will outgrow their "no taxes" status and their allure fades.
Had a salesman from Texas at my door last week, he was peddling home security systems. At one point we were talking about utilities and he asked me what my gas & electric cost averaged a month and when I told him ~$100 he almost fell over. He averages over $300 a month for a two bedroom apartment down there while I heat, cool and illuminate a 2 story 4 bedroom house.
That's pretty close to what I'm paying for my house utilities with the water and electric
It may not happen this year but with all the California people moving here it’ll probably happen in the next couple of elections.
It’ll be interesting to see how that plays out, but Texas has been blue before. People tend to vote on what’s good for them and smaller towns and big cities often disagree on what’s better.
Somehow, we all get by despite the whining by the minority group.
