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..

You see the impact of these stats used even on speed limits in metro areas in an effort to supposedly reduce emissions. An example is the 17 DFW/Houston area counties that have a mandated 5 mph reduction in the normal 70 & 65 speed limits.

Since the most prominent “greenhouse gas” in the atmosphere is water vapor, is this a bad thing, or is this just silly nonsense?

Jobs in the Eagle Ford Shale aren’t slowing down, either. Hey, everybody: if you’re willing to work and pull your weight, come on down to Texas!

"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.

The combination of hubris and foolishness among these people is staggering.

And if they asked the average Texan, they’d quickly find out three things:

A) That 99.999999% (or more) of Texans don’t give two hoots in Hell about what some enviro-whacko thinks.
B) That they are really glad that they have the coal-fired plants and oil industry, because they mean JOBS, and a decentl standard of living for so many.
C)That if anyone tries to screw with those, they’re gonna have a humdinger of a fight on their hands.

Obama hates the people of this state for not voting for him.

You got that right.

Narcissists are hateful, and have no empathy.

Remember when he joked about half the state being on fire?

He JOKED about our tragedies...

grrr. can’t say what’s in my mind...

Texas will get help from Obama when hell freezes over.

The good news is ... we don’t need it.

Way down in the data it says the refineries produce 13% of emissions in state - what percent comes from autos? The data has no compared to what? If we have twice as many power plants, and refineries, as Calif how come our air is cleaner!!!
