Lawmakers in Texas have blocked a Chinese billionaire’s push to build a 15,000-acre wind farm on a large swath of land he purchased after news of his plans drew the attention of a conservancy group.
It warned first about the environmental impact and then noted Sun Guangxin’s ties to the Chinese Communist Party and how the project could give him access to the state’s electricity grid.
And the 140,000 acres that Sun snapped up in recent years is near Laughlin Air Force Base raising national security concerns.
Republican Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed the Lone Star Infrastructure Protection Act into law in June.
“As far as I know this is the first law of its kind by any state in the United States of America,” Abbott said of the bill designed to prevent “hostile nations” from accessing Texas’ electricity grid and other “critical infrastructure,” such as computer networks and waste treatment systems.
Republicans in Congress also weighed in, including Sens. John Cornyn (R-TX) and Ted Cruz, with the latter introducing the Protecting Military Installations and Ranges Act of 2021, a bill that would require the Committee for Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to re-review “any purchase or lease of real estate near a military installation or military airspace in the United States by a foreign person connected to or subsidized by “China, Russia, Iran, or North Korea.”
The Texas law also lists those four countries as “hostile nations.”

I’m sure this will be over ruled by the Feds when he shows them his Permission Slip from Joe Biden written on the back of a bank deposit slip...
This is enough problem with the Texas grid going down like a Clinton intern - no need to make it worse by getting a commie involved.
How about a 50 acre 100% USA owned coal plant instead of another useless wind farm.
...eeh...the Chinese Commies haven’t yet figured out that they need to be “more inclusive’ of the American Commies if they wanna piece of Texas.
Give it some more time...
