I’m not understanding why this post is in s/corruption. Hotter temperatures and substantial growth in Texas make this electricity forecast a reality.

OP is a bit of a weirdo in selecting subs where he posts his links. I'm just trying to not upvote especially egregious ones.

...prices in August. Projected from April. I sleep.

This is not a projection! The price is the contract cost of buying electricity now for delivery in August.

When August arrives, will the spot price for immediate delivery be this high? That we don’t know. But if you want to lock in delivery in August right now in April, the wholesale cost is $0.16/kwh.

It is a projection of estimated temperature, comrade

Wrong.
