Griddy files for Chapter 11.

Griddy decided a few days ago I owed them another $300. It has been two weeks since they were removed by ERCOT as my energy provider and was sent to Power provider of last resort.

They took the $50 I still had on account, but I decided to not pay the last $250. Hopefully I won’t owe it down the road. Getting anything back is looking very remote.

I’m now with someone else who charges 9.5 cents a KWh all in. That’s only a penny above Griddy for 2020 and it’s fixed.

My power provider of last resort charged me around $7 for the one day with them. That was for 55 KWh. That would have been $495 under the PUC’s emergency order.

If that is the "all in" number"(meaning the bottom line divided by KWH used), that is not to bad. My bottom line number is 10.5 cents a KWH. It drops down by 1.5 cents a KWH if I use over 1200 KWH in one billing cycle.

That would be 9 which is better than me as I’m always over 1200 KWh. And yes that’s all in.

Channel 2 is saying ERCOT has ordered conservation.

What’s up did the wind stop again.

ERCOT paid Texas Bitcoin miner to not mine and paid them $30 million to not mine during heat wave.

Got my bill this month for Aug. it was 13 cents last month it was 11 cents a KWh, not sure why it bumped. My share of the $30 mil?

It’s Sept suppose to be 103 today. Hottest Summer I can remember ever.

It’s not CO2 if it’s anything other than weather it’s the Sun.

Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

The huge amount of water vapor hurled into the atmosphere, as detected by NASA’s Microwave Limb Sounder, could end up temporarily warming Earth’s surface.

... the Tonga eruption sent around 146 teragrams (1 teragram equals a trillion grams) of water vapor into Earth’s stratosphere – equal to 10% of the water already present in that atmospheric layer.

It's the hottest summer I remember as well.

Per the EPA, Water vapor has the bigger effect than CO2:

Water vapor is the most abundant greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.
