Texas lawmakers have introduced bills this session discouraging wind and solar power while incentivizing the construction of natural gas power plants.
The plan to create a backup fleet of power plants, outlined in Senate Bill 6, is not a new one. It was first proposed last legislative session by the company Berkshire Hathaway as a way to protect Texas from further blackouts. Another bill, Senate Bill 607, would force wind and solar power generators to pay a sort of credit to guarantee they can deliver power, something that would increase the cost of renewable energy in Texas.
Senate Bill 2015 would also direct state regulators to encourage the marketing of gas-generated electricity as"green" energy.Raising the cost of renewable energy on the grid, and investing billions into new power generation infrastructure would all-but guarantee higher energy bills for consumers. It would also increase pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from natural gas use.
Shameful.
