This seems like an easy good-fund-me for someone to get started. That is, if the electric company will even be allowed to collect those outrageous sums. I suspect the state legislature will have something to say about that. (If the story is even true.)

Highly doubt this is a fake story since every news outlet is covering it and Abbott held an emergency meeting
Thanks. I'm glad to hear the governor and legislature are addressing it. The whole thing is so preposterous. No matter how bad the storm, that kind of increase is not justified. Most people would be horrified if their usual bill had doubled, let alone tripled. I believe we'll see people rescued from this particular outrage. I hope so, anyway.
Definitely. The national outcry will make a difference. I hope they refund the vet his money. The power NEVER should have even sent these bills out in the first place.
Apparently the poor guy emptied out his savings to pay it.
