For Republicans, one of the most contentious aspects of Chapter 313 was how much it was benefiting renewable energy projects. Lt. Gov.boasted in January that he killed the program because it had been “misused,” claiming “about 60% of all 313 projects were renewable windmills.”
Small, rural counties especially benefited from using Chapter 313 to bring renewable energy companies to their areas, said Judd Messer, Texas vice president of the Advanced Power Alliance, in a statement. Those companies generated funding for local schools, government and landowners. Asked about that bill Wednesday, Abbott applauded it as “an innovative approach” but did not explicitly endorse it. He said it is “one potential idea, and there will be others.”
I can’t believe the tree huggers are so pro wind turbine, they have destroyed the beauty of South Texas and have wreaked havoc on the bird life, as well as leaking oil everywhere.
Yikes... so why did you all elect him again? 🤔
Thank you for setting us back at least three decades because your money and friends are more important than then people who actually pay you. Man can't wait till your out. We need someone with some sense if there is anyone.
Because hes ignorant and religious theres no way climate change and renewable energy are either real or work right?! Haha because money's the most important thing g here now... there no sings at all that change is needed. Nooo only handshakes and shady deals. Great! Thanks dude!
Under Greg Abbott‘s new plan, what type of selection will be used to determine which energy companies(s) get the contract? If a friend w/no ability to preform above standard is selected Texans will come for you…and rightly so.
Could yell a little louder that you're a big oil boot licker
Any governor who excluded opportunities to create more jobs is bad for texas. No matter what you think job creation is a good thing. Guy is a loser and bad for the economy
Good. Climate Change is a scam.
Abbott must be doing another favor for his energy friends
Abbott needs to do exactly what the European Union has done, declare nuclear energy, a form of green energy eligible for any tax incentives therein. The idea stated in this article that renewable energies like wind and solar are cheaper than nuclear or coal is laughable.
