It was the electric companies' fault to begin with--they need to eat the costs and charge their customers thd normal rate.I dont think you can sue for outages but for them to jack up the rates in the middle of an emergency without warning is really messed up. I hope this doesn’t effect consumers like was claimed in the OP or there are going to be millions of furious TexansI think if they are decent people they will offer you some share in paying the bill. Are any real possibilities to sue the electric companies for failing to provide their services?That better not be the case. I was lucky enough to keep my power and water unlike many of my friends and neighbors who I put up at my house for the week. I consumed electricity but I had multiple households who had no power or water staying with me. If I get a insanely high electric bill I am going to wipe my ass with it and return to sender.As Texas deep freeze subsides, some households now face electricity bills as high as $10,000

Unacceptable! What kind of country are we, that we toss our citizens to the wolves? Why do we suck so bad? Cold snap? Tough , go bankrupt, that's your problem.
Broke your leg and got an infection? Tough, go bankrupt.
Homeless? Tough. Just, ya know, go somewhere we can't SEE you. K, thx
Mentally ill? Tough luck! If you really crash, we have prisons where we can keep you. Again, mostly for the purposes of not having to see you.
