It so much depends on your business. You can offer them deep discounts. Maybe you can enroll them in a rewards program.

Providers of professional services often take something off bills for good clients, especially ones who pay their bills promptly. There are all kinds of things you can do. The most important way to show gratitude to your customers is to say “thank you.”

Unprecedented cold temperatures put a heavy demand on electricity and natural gas supplies as state residents desperately tried to remain warm in their homes. For environmental reason most coal-fired power plants had been either taken off line or converted to natural gas. The west Texas wind turbines on which much of the state depended for electricity were frozen by the ice and cold and became inoperable. Meanwhile the extreme demands on the state’s natural gas supplies forced several of the gas fired electrical generating plants to go off-line.

My thoughts are this. Most of our country’s power infrastructure is not designed for and maintained to be able to operate normally during the most extreme conditions. Doing so would result in those “extra” resources to be idled except during those extreme demands. Our transition from coal-generated power to intermittent renewable power will require alternative non-polluting sources of base power to be added to the mix. Some of us believe that proven, compact factory-built modular nuclear power plants distributed throughout our grid is the answer. Some are currently being evaluated.
