...i always ask providers up-front what is my cost without using any insurance versus my out-of-pocket cost after insurance, and most of the time it's substantially cheaper not to use insurance at all even though it won't count toward my deductible...

...texas is trailing at 41% low-carbon but wind and solar are gangbuster growth industries here...

22% wind
12% solar
7% nuclear
48% natural gas
11% coal
