Let me know if he needs any help.
Talking about it for another 10-20 years will just mean it'll be too late by the time they get around to acting.

From the article:
He talks about economic collapse as what will happen to the rest of the United States, not Texas. And he talks about energy policy as a way to make sure Texas commerce will continue, without the rest of the United States. And when he talks about the future, he focuses on Texas, because he believes there might not be the rest of the United States.
See a pattern?
“One of the things I’ve focused on in the last 10 years of my public sector life is preparing Texas to be a prosperous and safe place to work, regardless of what happens outside our borders,” he said.
“We are uniquely situated because we have energy resources, fossil and otherwise, and our own independent electrical grid. Generally speaking, we have made great progress in becoming an independent nation, an ‘island nation’ if you will, and I think we want to continue down that path so that if the rest of the country falls apart, Texas can operate as a stand-alone entity with energy, food, water and roads as if we were a closed-loop system.”
How does he plan to achieve it?
Frankly, I’d like to see California do it. Kick out the folks who don’t belong here, fix things so the Left will have to escape rather than live like decent conservatives, and get California back to what it should have been all along.

For a long time, I thought that this would be terrible. Now, I wonder if I was wrong.
I am available for an internship.
I remember someone once asked Chuck Norris if he ever wanted to be president.
Chuck answered, “Yes! Of Texas!”
I'm not trying to highjack the spirit of your thread, which is a strong and independent Texas.
