Texas already has a hard time maintaining its power grid. I’m sure adding 4 million more users and 30 years of wear and tear isn’t going to improve things there.
"Aren't expected to 'contribute' as much of their earnings." Yeah, I think that's sorta the point. How's the extra "contributions" doing for Bay State roads? And isn't there an entire thread dedicated to the T falling apart? Liberals, I luv ya! Never enough of other people's dough, is there? Great, now I've just wet my pants laughing.

The T probably should be much worse considering it was neglected by the state for at least half a century and is the oldest subway in the world outside of Europe. Give the sunbelt another 150 years, and it may just be another rust belt.
