I'm not sure he could even be reelected here much less nationally.
His trans-texas corridor idea in particular has lost him tons of support, as well as trying to force 6 or 8 new coal plants down the throats of central Texans.
He is so hated universally that the democrats actually have a shot here in 2010 and 2012 if you ask me.
Texas could certainly use some coal fired plants. Electrical rates here are among the very highest in the nation often running over $0.13/kwh, they are an absolute joke for an energy producing state. And it’s because the greens have so far succeeded in stopping any coal fired plants. They’re fully twice as high as I was formerly paying in Kansas from coal and nuke.
There are things about Perry I don’t like, but pushing coal is a great idea.
You are SO right. His approval ratings have plummeted. For good reason. He is an embarrassment.
When you said central Texas I assumed that was a larger area.
So are they definitely going to build these 6 or so new plants with the only question being how they’ll be fired?
