While I don't think they should cut the gas off right now I also think the other company needs to pay their bills in a timely manner. Why should the gas provider have to float them? Did they take them to raise?

All talk IMO, they’re trying to collect a debt with the only collateral they have, their gas.I believe that’s all it is, a threat to collect on a debt. We threaten to suspend services all the time for non payment.

They just want to be payed what they’re owed. Thread title is misleading as cnn

They provided a product and haven’t gotten paid for that product. If we don’t pay our light bill the power company wont hesitate about turning our power off…..not supposed to happen until the 24th after this cold front. I work for Energy Transfer and if I am on the grid that happened to lose power if gas is shut off then so be it. Pay your bill……

Exactly. Pay your bill and quit being a crybaby trying to put the blame on someone else.

Energy* Transfer. What do you think should happen when you get 21 million dollars behind on your bill?

[Bayouboy]

Posturing.

Sounds to me that Vistra needs to pay their bill.

What about the price gouging during the big freeze. Energy transfer should be shut down at the state line.

That started at the producers level not the midstream. They were buying it higher per mcf, which translated down the line.

It's illegal to cut off gas and other essential utilities in winter-time... I lived in Wisconsin working for a power provider, and we were not allowed to cut off gas and electricity until I think May 1. It was amazing how many people didn't pay utilities starting in November until May 2.

Prices are agreed upon at least a year if not several years in advance. Prices don’t increase because a freeze is coming or a storm is in the gulf. BTW Energy Transfer is based in Dallas and supports thousands of Texas families.

That's funny because Energy Transfer doesn't pay their bills for sh*t.

Yep, they bought Sunoco and several other Texas companies. They employ a lot of Texas folks.
