"State senators unveiled a package of bills aimed at dramatically reducing #renewable #energy generation in #Texas while pushing public money toward the construction of natural #gas power plants."

This is what gives people FOMO:
"The report projects that expanding wind and solar capacity could save Texans between $6.1 billion and $15.2 billion per year, even as the state’s politicians fight tooth and nail against #wind and #solar project development."
Also, this is what true #EnergyIndependence looks like: energy from sun and wind from your own land.

A recent analysis reveals that amid the abnormally high-priced natural gas market in 2022, wholesale electricity rate savings from wind and solar surged nearly 300% from previous years to exceed $11 billion, totalling $31.5 billion in energy savings since 2010.
Put out this word among your friends in #Texas: #RenewableEnergy saves them money.
"#Wind and #solar #energy has helped save Texas residents as much as $200 per year on their electricity #bills over the past five years, according to a new study from consulting firm IdeaSmiths."
