Dear TXU:

Thanks for looking out for your customers!  I was so happy to read in
The Dallas Morning News on August 2 that your net profit rose 33% in
the last quarter.  Especially happy since my last month's electricity
bill was 43% higher than the same month last year, despite the fact
that I only had a 15% increase in KWH usage!

I was even more excited to read that you'll be building eleven more
wonderful coal burning plants in Texas in order to save even more
money while continuing to charge us at least the same.  More coal
burning plants is just what the world needs right now.

Go for the bottom line!  You're a real winner.

Love,
A Satisfied TXU Customer

Fortunately it is no longer neccessary to buy your electricity from
TXU now that the market has been deregulated. You can buy it from
wholesalers who deal in energy as a commodity and TXU has to deliver
it to you through their wires and service your outages anyways. I
figure I save at least 10%.

I get mine from Cirro Energy but there are a lot of other alternatives; 
http://www.cirroenergy.com/

In this way I hope to let the dope buckets of the world spend their 
retirement years with a window fan instead of A/C.

They keep trying to sell the company to me each month and I keep

Cirro looks rather expensive compared to Dynowatt. They want nearly 15
cents compared to 13 cents and that's with a year contract compared to
monthly.

But anything is better than Gexa - anything. I'd switch to Reliant if
I had to just to get away from Gexa. Someone needs to run those crooks
out of Texas.

Three months late Gexa finally kicked in with my Continental Miles from 
my last month with them.

You didn't mention that they quit trimming the trees near power lines.
Everytime a typical storm rolls through it's lights out neighborhood. I
knew deregulation was a bad idea and was going to lead to problems.
People need to quit being so gullible.

TXU WILL NOT TRIM THE TREES ANYMORE
