Now that that's cleared up, it's a stupid metric.
Kaveh, you going to insult your friend for not knowing maths with his calculation that made texas end up at 7.9 ?

not sure how he did this.

plus the main point is that we have freezing temperatures and summers somewhat comparable to texas albeit a little colder (not by much if you take the averages and this compensate, with the average, for having a winter, as well) and our grid doesn't melt like ice cream in the sun.

It's the number I got from googling a website.

Quibble more about cents when you were off by an order of magnitude. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I always knew that it was 7 cents, and it is not because it is "metric", lol.

anything before the . is in dollars, anything after the . is in cents and children know this.

How the fuck did you end up with that 7.9 figure for texas?
Sure, a website.

the point is: dumb enough to post it.

tell me again how stupid i am.

We do well in summer, when heat is expected. They failed in a once in 100 year Texas blizzard. While it is very very bad that people died due to incompetence, it isn’t analogous to any point you think you’re making. If Canada had 120 degree temperatures nationwide, (your nation is comparable in population, being VERY loose with numbers to Texas), you might see your grid fail

Again dude, not an excuse. It’s an explanation

Dude, very hot summer have high demands in electricity because of AC.
Very cold winters have very high demand in electricity due to heating.

Jst fucking google and realize average household in quebec and texas uses about same electric usage.

This is getting ridiculous.

Edit: we just don't have a shitty privatized grid.

Yeah byue you’re talking cents vs cents, the power difference between Quebec and Texas isnt that large. The difference between either and California is, however

11.86 cents = $0.1186 for those from Canada who apparently didn’t learn math in school. For more numbers, you will be paying us $500 billion for the F-35s you purchase. Thank you for your service. PS: they’re built in Texas
