Texas is first in the nation in wind power generation. The Lone Star State is far and away the leader and is second when it comes to solar power generation. But Senate Bill 624 could flip the switch on that, according to critics who don't like the bill sponsored by State Senator Lois Kolkhorst, which would give the Public Utility Commission more oversight on new and existing wind and solar projects protecting landowners and wildlife.
In a hearing for the bill, some landowners testified in support of the legislation, which would require additional regulations and environmental impact studies for new and existing projects. Though critics said it tramples on property rights and singles out renewable energy while ignoring traditional power generation coal, oil, and gas. Jeff Clark, with the Advanced Power Alliance, said the bill does the opposite of protecting property rights.
Dan Cohan at Rice University said the legislation is some of the most punitive he's ever seen for renewable energy and could harm the strength of an already vulnerable grid in a state with growing power demands.
Renewable energy does NOT exist.
Is it true? Why do you say some critics believe it? I mean come on at like a real reporter.
