Imma cut and paste my earlier post since I know the Libtards are going to be in here trying to place all the blame on Abbott.

The left has been working the internet hard blaming Abbott and Cruz for all the trouble here, when this all stems from Obama and his EPA going hard at Texas and forcing wind/solar power on us...

At issue are new Federal rules to cut pollution from power plants. Each state would have to come up with a plan that would cut carbon pollution, or greenhouse gases, by an average of 30 percent in less than two decades. Texas, with all its refineries and a lot of coal-burning power plants, is the largest producer of greenhouse gases and is being asked to cut more emissions than other states. 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.

Abbott fought this shit for years when he was AG, don't let the left come here and blame him and Cruz.

The Attorney General has made no secret of the enjoyment he gets out of filing suits against the administration and the EPA. “What I really do for fun is I go into the office,” Abbott said recently, “[and] I sue the Obama administration.”

There are things Abbott could have done better, but this shit happened because of Obama's militant EPA.
