For years, the State of Texas has been filing lawsuits against the Federal Environmental Protection Agency, trying to stop it from enforcing regulations aimed at reducing power plant pollution.
Texas has lost most of the cases, including a major ruling earlier this summer by the U.S. Supreme Court. The Court gave the EPA the go-ahead to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants. At the PUC hearing, there was testimony that Texas would again file suit over these latest rules.
States have until 2016 to formulate their plans to cut power plant pollution but in the meantime, there will likely be battles in court over how much Texas must do.
Shit like that got power plants like the one at Lake Monticello closed. Monticello was one of my favorite fishing lakes, BTW.
Vistra announced in October 2017 that all three units will cease power generation in January 2018 due to advancements in renewable energy and a glut of natural gas depressing wholesale power prices.[5] The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) permitted the closure of Monticello at a hearing in November 2017.[11] The closure was scheduled for January 4, 2018.[5]
Didnt Jen Psaki just say that it was coal and other fossil fuels that led to the energy crisis in TX? 🤔
Can I get a circleback on that?
You can circle back on this cock, Jen
You're rather daring.
I think she looks cute, she's just retarded is all.
Might be a sin, but I always liked ginger women. Lol
Lmao, you can keep her... it... communist... idk whatever
She's not wrong, but it's the lack of coal and other fossil fuel plants that caused it.
Texas fought this shit for years, don't let people say they didn't, but the fucking Federal government gets the final say...
From 2014...

Why does Texas have to listen to federal regulations if their grid doesn't cross state lines?
Because Federal law trumps state law and we are still part of the US.
If only that were true for election law too.
So the most red state can get a stealth green new deal right under our noses?
Damn that's doomer fuel
Reading her name made me fart just now. She causes the climate to change
