Arrr matey! 'Tis been said that the Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond be settin' sail on a legal voyage, accusin' two scallywag natural gas companies of price-gougin' during Winter Storm Uri of 2021. Ye be walkin' the plank if ye think ye can get away with such thievery!
In the year of our Lord 2021, Oklahoma's Republican Attorney General Gentner Drummond didst file lawsuits against two Texas-based natural gas scallywags for their rapacious ways during Winter Storm Uri. The lawsuits were aimed at Dallas-based ET Gathering & Processing and Houston-based Symmetry Energy Solutions, accusing them of hoarding natural gas to increase prices during the storm that left many landlubbers shivering without power.Ye Attorney General Drummond declared the actions of these varlets to be both staggering and unconscionable, as they lined their pockets with ill-gotten gains while the good people of Oklahoma suffered. Messages sent to the accused companies for comment were met with the sound of silence.Meanwhile, in neighboring Kansas, Attorney General Kris Kobach had already set sail on a similar lawsuit against a natural gas scoundrel. In the great state of Texas, Griddy Energy made a deal with regulators to settle the scores over the exorbitant electric bills thrust upon its customers during the storm.These legal battles be a reminder that no pirate can plunder without consequence, and the law will come knocking on their cabin doors, seeking justice for those they have wronged.
