In 2021, Alfred E. Neuman look-alike and heretical pastor James Talarico introduced HB2206. The bill would have pushed Texas toward near-net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. This is in the oil and gas state of Texas.
It would have crippled the state’s oil and gas industry. However, Talarico’s Texas Climate Action Act (HB 2206) from the 87th Legislative Session in 2021 was introduced but died in committee.
Nonetheless, he vowed to address the climate crisis scam.
Talarico has repeatedly highlighted Texas’s status as the nation’s largest greenhouse gas emitter while advocating for aggressive climate legislation, including his 2021 Texas Climate Action Act.
Because Texas emissions have grown substantially in the last 2 or 3 decades alone, the actual cuts needed could have been much steeper. While the bill doesn’t outright ban gasoline cars or oil and gas operations, it targets new regulations that could have put the industry under serious pressure.
I’m excited to work with @ErinForYall @GinaForAustin @jasminefor100 @RafaelAnchia and the other members of the brand new @TXClimateCaucus to address the climate crisis this session, but this effort should be bipartisan.

He tried to tie it to God. He’s such a fraud.

Five years later, he pretends he cares about oil and gas jobs. He’s a fake, a fraud, a phony scammer.

Talarico introduced a bill in the Texas Legislature to try and eliminate the oil and gas industry in Texas.
