The United Nations tells Texas it must move to greenie energy to remain prosperous.
The United Nations, awash in greenie ideology, has decided that now would be a good time to horn in on the state of Texas's internal energy production. For its own good, of course:
NEW YORK — The leader of the United Nations says Texas must end its reliance on oil and gas production to remain prosperous in the era of climate change.
At a UN summit next month, world leaders will be asked to rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. A vast increase in the production of renewable energy will be required to reach those targets.
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says Texas is well-positioned to lead the way in the production of renewables.
"If Texas wants to remain prosperous in 2050 or 2070, Texas will have to diversify its economy and Texas will have to be less dependent on oil and gas," Guterres said. "It has all the conditions to be — because of the weather in Texas — a leading state in renewable energy in the US," he added.
That prompted just the right response from Texas's no-nonsense governor, Greg Abbott:
Texas to United Nations: Pound Sand
The world is reeling from spiraling fuel costs caused by premature over-reliance on renewable energy.
High fuel costs punish middle class families & stoke the supply chain crisis.
Texas oil & gas is needed right now.

The UN is feeling empowered by Bidet and the Great Reset crowd.
I would have told the UN, to pound sand too. What a bunch of dirt bags.
I guess the UN didn’t notice the Texans who froze to death last winter due to overreliance on green energy sources that failed. Inconvenient.
I bet there will be a blizzard in Scotland during the climate conference coming up. Gaia is a b*tch.
We’ve been in the “era of climate change “ since the 60’s. Back then we were trying to stop the impending ice age.
Texas to United Nations: Pound Sand
UN, GO EAT SH*T!
Trump won Texas by less than 7% in 2020, a couple % closer than 2016. Is Texas drifting left or is all this “Texas is going to flip!” talk just chicken littles? I know a lot of people from out-of-state have been flocking to Texas for the job market but at least some of them have to be conservative. How active and serious is the state GOP on holding ground?
The United Nations is an enemy of the United States of America.
If only we hadn’t given up so quickly on perfecting perpetual motion machines.
Texas has 29 million people. California, the “good” state. has 39.5 million people. Texas provides 26% of the nation’s wind energy. The “good” state provides 3% of the nation’s wind energy.
Aren’t we all gonna be dead in 10 or 12 years?
Why do they care about 2050 or 2070?
too kind. tell the UN to eff off:

Energy crunch in China
China relies heavily on coal for power generation.
Since mid-August, at least 20 provinces across the country have reported power cuts of varying extent...
Officials have reportedly urged top state-owned energy companies to secure supplies for the upcoming winter at all costs...
Beijing may also look to other countries for more coal...
“China has also been trying to get more Mongolian and Russian coal to cater to its demand; however, there is some competitive pressure for Russian coal from the European buyers. We have also seen China buying more coal from suppliers in the Atlantic, such as US and Colombia,” Gupta said by email...

Biden and the demonrat party and a chunk of the Republican party are the enemy of the United States of America
Did this Beautros Beautros Golly wannabe mention our statewide blackout (due to lack of wind) last February?
I don’t think so...
Signed, Real Americans the people who voted for our rightful President, Donald J. Trump...
Let’s Go UN!
The left is importing “refugees” into Texas by the 100 thousands right now. The plan seems to be to overwhelm the population with new dem voters, the way they did in California. And the way Obama did Minneapolis, flooded it with Somalis and of course they elected one of their own to Congress.
The border crisis is on purpose. I really doubt that Americans want to live in the United States of California
Texas will probably go blue due to the massive influx of ILLEGALS who will eventually get to vote. Most of them are already on welfare, free medical care, free housing, free schooling, and can't speak English. They are laughing at us.
