“…we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, defining the purpose of the Civil War.
“If the world is against truth, then I am against the world.” Athanasius of Alexandria
“The further a society drifts from the truth, the more it will hate those that speak it.” George Orwell
“Our government teaches the whole people by its example. If the government becomes the lawbreaker, it breeds contempt for law; it invites every man to become a law unto himself; it invites anarchy.” Louis D. Brandeis
“Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.” Louis D. Brandeis
“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” George Orwell, 1984.
“An evil man will burn his own nation to the ground to rule over the ashes.” ~ Sun Tzu
“It is no small thing, to restore a republic after it has fallen into corruption. I have studied history for years and I cannot recall it ever happening. It may be that our task is impossible. Yet, if we do not try then how will we know it could not be done? And if we do not try, it most certainly will not be done. The Founders’ Republic, and the larger war for western civilization, will be lost.” Mike Vandeerbeough
“They don’t kill you because you’re a fascist…they call you a fascist so they can kill you.” ex-Antifa member.
It’s all a lie to see who is a good lemming and listens to their government gods.
Abbott is an incapable person, and a globalist, who understands nothing about energy.
This article misses the mark by a mile. It does not how much oil you have if the EPA has constantly disallowed any new electrical generating stations. Biden has not permitted a single new facility since he has been in office. Hence Texas electricity capacity using fossil or nuke fuels has remained flat for 20 years.
And the BIG WHY is WHY a sovereign State needs to ask?
That is a great question. I do not know the answer. I think that interstate transmission of electricity allows the feds to interfere.
Tell us how this article misses the mark. This article is not about oil. The Texas problem, if 20 years old, is not Biden’s fault. Texas had a major energy problem about 4 years ago due to an ice storm. Government sure is the problem in this.
One reason new fossil fuel plants aren’t built is government subsidies. Under Obama, the federal government began handing out subsidies to so called, green energy, and the green energy solar farms and wind mills failed miserably during that ice storm and today, in addition to being unreliable, they cannot produce enough energy to meet demand. And I wonder how green they are when whole forested areas are clear cut to make way for acres of solar farms, the solar panels cannot be recycled when damaged such as were in a hailstorm in Nebraska or their useful life is completed, so must be dumped in landfills. How green are windmills when they must rely on fossil burning diesel engines to start them rotating, use around 85 gallons/yr of oil for lubrication and their fiberglass blades cannot be recycled so must be dumped in landfills. Not to mention the hundreds of raptors and other endangered birds killed by the rotating blades that you and I would go to prison for killing.
while China is building over 1500 COAL fired plants this year alone!
FYI_
“Between Baffin Bay, south of Corpus Christi, and Sabine Lake, on the Louisiana border, about 300 wells in state waters sit abandoned by defunct owners. The largest concentration of these is the 119 in Trinity Bay, which is also home to about a dozen decaying platforms.
I first wrote about Texas’s abandoned wells in 1999, and not much has changed since. Every year the state plugs more than a thousand of them, but every year a comparable number are abandoned. There are more than eight thousand wells on the state’s to-plug list. Sisyphus would feel right at home working for the Railroad Commission’s orphan-well program.”

You are attempting to assert 2 things, ineffectively:
(1) oil companies abandoned wells they can make money on
(2) oil companies have no obligation to handle closed wells

The wind doesn’t blow then no electricity is generated by the wind mills. The sun goes down and no solar power either! Useless.
“Man-made Global Warming is the biggest scam in human history.
All of it complete lies.
Refuse to comply with any of the lies.
TEAR DOWN THOSE USELESS WIND FARMS.
Those 3 blade wind turbines do not work. They are constructed for show and tax subsidies.
