Don’t Mess with Texas

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott and Department of Environmental Quality Chairman Bryan Shaw yesterday sent this strongly worded letter to Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lisa Jackson, regarding the Obama administration’s intention to regulate greenhouse gases.

Some background: As has been noted repeatedly by my colleague Marlo Lewis, the Obama administration’s plan to regulate greenhouse gas emissions is a runaway train. In a nutshell, the administration wants to pick and choose which sections of the Clean Air Act apply to greenhouse gases, but…

Announcements

Don Blankenship, Chairman and CEO of Massey Energy Company, gave a great talk at the National Press Club this week on energy realities versus global warming fantasy as well as some other topics.  It was broadcast on C-Span and can be viewed online.

Assemblyman Michael Patrick Carroll and Assemblywoman Alison Littell McHose introduced A3147,…

Regarding the Gulf, What Is Obama Thinking?

Regarding the Gulf, What Is Obama Thinking?

I was recently in Dallas, and there I had the opportunity to speak with a broadcast…
