Even if it is not on your land, we can ALL complain about our electric bills since TEXAN RATEPAYERS PAY for this, lack of security, harm to humans and animals, and damage to our environment and wildlife.

Now, don’t stop here. Send your prepared comments for PUCT to your:

- county commissioners,

- state senators,
