More propaganda to shut down coal fired power plants.

Last time I checked, Texas is a BIG state. I wonder if they figured in the carbon dioxide produced from all the Texas wildfires?

Yes, no understanding of number of emission points, population, land mass.

Also, I’ve noticed that climate criers think the Earth is a closed system. And now, they act as though States are.

Don’t forget the smoke from Mexican wildfires that drifts up here and makes the air quality crappy. Nothing like seeing that haze in the morning.

Looks and smells like money and jobs to me! (Although I can’t remember seeing any smog in a very long time...)

IE, Texas leads in useful energy production at prices affordable to the common man.

That’s right. And it’s probably because no other state has the balls to produce all this energy. That, and we’re the biggest of the lower 48 ... we take up more airspace.

Texas has been doing pretty well with unemployment and they are creating there.

That is not a part of Obama’s plan to destroy America. It’s time for Obama to stop Texas success.

This only means that Texas still has industrial businesses operating. Quick, close ‘em all down and bring Texas in line with the “smart people” ideal of progress - Detroit!

"It highlights the need to take action, especially considering the extreme weather we have seen lately," said Luke Metzger, director of Environment Texas, an advocacy group.

Yet another person that doesn't understand the difference between "weather" and "climate".

We have had documented extremes in weather throughout the history of mankind.

We have also had climate change for the history of this rock we call Earth.

Texas is the leading crude oil-producing State in the Nation.

Texas’s 27 petroleum refineries can process more than 4.7 million barrels of crude oil per day, and they account for more than one-fourth of total U.S. refining capacity.

Approximately three-tenths of total U.S. natural gas production occurs in Texas, making it the Nation’s leading natural gas producer.

Since we supply so much energy for the rest of the nation’s use, we need their “carbon credits”.

Texas leads U.S. in greenhouse gas emissions

Washington DC leads U.S. in methane gas emissions.

The Marxist hourly "Breaking News," is in fact "Breaking Wind," and that's a hell of a lot more damaging to the country's health.

Come and take it!

The most emmisions and the highest per capita gunownership.

I’ve been on the horn with my state rep. (Debbie Riddle) about several plant closures.

Here’s the problem. Last year, because of the La Nina pattern, we had epic heat and record drought in texas. In dallas and ft. Worth, austin and most of north texas we had many many days of rolling blackouts. Over the fall and winter I know of at least 2 coal fired plants that have been shutdown over the high cost of over regulation.

Unfortunately the la Nina pattern will hold this year and we can expect the same extreme weather patterns, but this time with even less power.

Yankees may think this a minor inconvenience due to a lack of ac. However if people are left without ac in heat in excess of 105 we will have heat related deaths all summer. That blood will be on the hands of yankee bstards in dc who have no regard for human life outside of the beltway.

Please call your state reps now texans and reference the Luminant power plant closures.

Because unlike most of the Midwest Texas still has some industry that is working. Zero productivity means zero emissions and that is what president zero is aiming for.

“Greenhouse” gas CO2 is what plants use to breathe.

Enviro-weenies want to block CO2.

Therefore, clearly:

Environmentalists hate plants.

Shame on enviro-weenies.

The Houston Chronicle is a liberal rag..Of course they will do all they can to get their idiot boy reelected...this is just the start of putting Texas down since Obama hates the people of this state for not voting for him..
