Texas is a big oil state. No doubt the fossil fuel industry reigns supreme there.😡

The bill is essentially a quota system for gas because the legislature thinks it can’t compete. It’s like legacy college admissions

With wind and solar crippled in Texas, they will import cheap solar power during peak solar production in other states!

Wait…

TX would be in incredibly deep shit right now without all the wind and solar installed over the last several years. It's what's keeping the lights on most of the time.

I do love the irony of data centers for LLM slop buying up all the gas turbines that #TXLeg was counting on to provide capacity-that-we-don't-call-"capacity"
