If Texas shut down their oil and gas refineries, the north part of the country would freeze. Besides propane and gasoline and chemicals for plastics, the North’s heating oil goes from Texas through pipes all the way north.
The country lives on Texas energy going north. Hussein and Holder hate Texas - they would prefer Texas be gone so people would have to cut holes for legs and arms in warm sleeping bags and wear those so the world would be saved from global warming - they would love it if Texas energy refineries were shut down.
Every one in this country should have a way to stay warm independent from any public utility.
Texas has some Texas sized production of Oil and Natural Gas, and the recent advances in drilling is increasing that production.
South Dakota is starting to be a player in oil production...
There is a need for pipelines to move Natural Gas, Gasoline, Diesel, and Propane to other parts of the country...
But our current administration has stacked the deck against oil companies and such projects as Keystone...

I agree. I think Texas should shut the valves on every pipeline at the border and use the energy here. As far as the last sentence, let them stay warm with their wind farms and solar panel farms. I know there is a solar farm east of Austin in Webberville, but the energy is too expensive for Austin customers.
So what did they do? Sell their partnership of the South Texas Nuke project and are trying to sell their partnership of the Fayette county coal fired power plant. Real DUmmies live among us in Texas. After all, they also closed a natural gas plant in east Austin. Too noisy for the "hood dwellers ".
