HOUSTON (Reuters) - In Spring, Texas, about 20 miles (32 km) north of Houston, Akilah Scott-Amos is staring down a more than $11,000 electric bill for this month, a far cry from her $34 bill at this time last year.

She was among the millions of Texas residents who lost power during several days of bitter cold that caused the state’s electrical grid, operated by the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, to break down. “I guess the option is, what, I’ll pay it? I just don’t feel like we should have to.”
