BOWING OUT….SAYING GOODBYE….
This old soldier is moving on to different and less stressful endeavors in his remaining retirement years. The four plus years devoted to this project have not produced the results desired nor intended. A real conversation never developed.
My aim was to provide a civic duty to the community and citizens of the state. Perhaps in some measure I have, but to too few people. The blog readership numbers have remained too low and no interaction has been generated. My calls for help went unanswered.
I do regret that I was not more successful in my outreach to and education of the general public on this most important matter of electricity deregulation. In great part, I blame the consumers in Texas for their no-care attitude and acceptance of status quo when, in my opinion, they should have been joining the fight against unfairness in the marketplace.

The blog, as currently published with postings dating back more than a year, will remain active and can continue to be read for an indefinite period. The information and guidance is extensive and can be helpful to many.
It is past time for the consumers of this state to stand tall and do what is right and have their voices heard. There are many actions that can be taken. Bills filed during the current session of the State Legislature calling for reforms of the laws governing deregulation of the electric utilities and operation of the retail market must be supported with fervor. This is the task at hand. Without the reform, consumers of Texas will continue to pay too much for their electricity.
The key words for all to follow are simply SHOP, SWITCH and SAVE.
Good luck and goodbye to all,
THE ELECTRICITY GUY
