We have a system that asks you to turn your thermostat into the 80s during the summer while paying crypto companies tens of millions.
Just ridiculous.

NEW: ERCOT paid a Colorado Bitcoin mining company $13.3 million from June to September to cut back on its energy usage.
The company doubled its revenue from reducing operations instead of mining Bitcoin.

Asking Texans to turn their ACs up to 78 while we have a system that pays crypto currency businesses $31.7 million beyond wrong.
All while bills are skyrocketing.
Hey @AdrianGarciaHTX - can't we work to get Houston out of ERCOT? Asking for 2.3 million friends.
