Texas’ infrastructure wasn\u2019t ready for the winter storm that paralyzed the state this week, and it\u2019s unfair that the working people are now forced to pay the price, a local woman who received a shocking power bill told RT.<\/p>\n

\n

The pipes in her home burst, and the water was out for four days, but it turned out that it wasn\u2019t the worst thing that happened to Akilah Scott-Amos during the Texan cold snap. While she was lucky enough to suffer only a brief power outage, the\u00a0$11,000 electricity bill that she received exceeded all her wildest expectations.<\/p>\n

The woman was charged that much because she is serviced by a wholesale retailer of electricity. Such an arrangement is attractive when the market is stable \u2013 Scott-Amos usually paid around $40 or $50 during this period \u2013 but turned out to be disastrous in a time of crisis, for which the state and her electricity company\u00a0\u201cweren\u2019t prepared.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cI absolutely can\u2019t afford it,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said of the enormous bill, insisting that she had been saving as much power as possible during those difficult days.<\/p>\n

They unfortunately put this on working and middle-class families. This is going to break a lot of people financially.<\/em><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

After she first told her story to the media, Scott-Amos received messages from numerous Texas families, who found themselves in a similar sorry situation.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s gotten to the point when people turn off their power because they can\u2019t afford it.<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The woman said that she understood that authorities prioritize help for those who suffered the most.\u00a0\u201cBut the people who did have power [and] were charged 300 times more than market rate so that [companies] could make a profit\u201d<\/em>\u00a0shouldn\u2019t be abandoned, she insisted. For now, Scott-Amos and others like her don\u2019t qualify for any government support.<\/p>\n

\u201cPrice gouging shouldn\u2019t be allowed during this time,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0she said, referring to both the cold snap and the Covid-19 pandemic, and urged authorities to intervene,\u00a0adding that\u00a0\u201cbasic utilities shouldn\u2019t cost thousands.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
