    Isn’t it tonnes of different people, farmers and such.

    Farmers and such are not selling power on the Texas wholesale electric grid, no.

    Reducing supply is just going to mean to make less money.

    Because fossil fuel supplies are limited, you can often make more money selling a small amount onto the market at a high price than a large amount onto the market at a low price.

        I’ll notify Ken Paxton right away. I’m sure he’ll get right on it.
