@foxnews: Could Texas electricity bills soon be frozen? Democratic Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa says she plans to freeze residential electricity rates within her first hour in office, declaring a "high-cost emergency" to address rising costs. But the proposal is already raising questions about whether she has the legal authority to do it. Energy policy analyst Nick Loris warns the move could face immediate court challenges and potentially put electricity supplies at risk if providers can't cover rising costs. Hinojosa is set to take office Jan. 19, 2027.
