Fossil Fuel Exec Brags Of 'Hitting The Jackpot' As Natural Gas Prices Surge Amid Deadly Crisis In Texas

[skews13]

More than two dozen Texans have died as a result of Winter Storm Uri—and thousands remain without heat, water, and food—but widespread evidence of human suffering didn't stop one dirty energy executive from boasting about profiting from the crisis.

"Obviously, this week is like hitting the jackpot." That's what Roland Burns, president and chief financial officer of Comstock Resources, Inc., a shale drilling company, told investors on an earnings call earlier this week, according to NPR.

Yep. They're expecting the rest of the tax payers of America to pay the price gouging utility bills, Texas homeowners will be receiving, to pad their own pockets, and political campaigns, for a disaster the their failed disaster capitalist policies caused in the first place.

Please call your Senator at 202-224-3121, and tell them not one dime of tax payer money goes to Texas utility companies. Let governor Abbott explain those bills to them. I'm sure they'll be sympathetic, and understanding to that whole small government thing.

So you send the utility company your money then. It's not my problem if they lose money. The citizens of Texas should make sure the utility company has to eat it. Not them.

Swing and a miss. It's my party that's in your state right now helping the people now, while your party is on a plane to Cancun, and fossil fuel execs are salivating about all the "big gubmint" welfare they're going to get to line their pockets with.

Human beings and Republican fossil fuel donors, aren't human beings that anyone should care about. Bro

There is a lot to understand about energy shortage in Texas

but based on that link it appears that Comstock is able to deliver natural gas when other companies cannot

is it because they winterized their production fields better than the other guys?
