    I don’t even know if it’s corporate profits, that’s actually a drawback to the corporate grid(see Enron’s intentional mismanagement of California’s energy grid)

    It’s just pure power for the ruling elite of Texas.

      Keeping their grid only in Texas allows their energy sector to skirt federal regulations since it doesn’t fall under the Interstate Commerce Clause.

      Skipping federal environmental and Safety regulations allows texas energy Corporations to be more profitable.
