LTE: ERCOT wants Texas homeowners to conserve energy, while Globe Life Field cranks the AC

Energy use at Globe Life Field

ERCOT has some nerve to ask us to conserve electricity when users such as Globe Life Field take more power than hundreds of homes here in Arlington. (July 12, 1A, “ERCOT asks Texans to conserve energy during high demand”) I would be willing to bet not even 20,000 people showed up for Monday’s game. Raising the facility’s temperature from 72 to 75?(July 13, 1B, “Smith, Rangers hold off late A’s rally for win”) Big deal. Most of us homeowners do not keep ours even at 75 during the day because of the cost. I am so disgusted with ERCOT.

All the lights are off. No washing or drying during the day.

We are tryin but I know there are many that really don’t give a shit or get breaks from the repukes.

So in essence, we who care are keeping the fucking lights on for those that don’t.

The song remains the same
