Federal Judge ruling beats back @JoeBiden Administration’s aggressive attack on energy industry by injoining his moratorium on Oil and Gas onshore and offshore leases ...Good legal action by Atty Gen @KenPaxtonTX as it saves Texan’s jobs & business revenue! @TPPF @TXOGA #txlege https://t.co/pywhm8ZQD3

After 4 hours of testimony, I would like to highlight these 4 words used by @CenterPoint CEO Wells in the #txlege Senate Hearing: -Inexcusable -Insensitive -Unacceptable -Insufficient But Centerpoint is going to go to the @PUCTX to ask for cost recovery from Hurricane… https://t.co/t7oKQDP4eC

1st witness by Chair @SenBryanHughes speaking against #ESG, @bmbrigham said underwriter did $B worth of business, pressured him to tweet points IN favor before considering a new loan!

While they have restored 180k homes' power, estimates are about 1/3rd of the city is without power.

Chair @KHancock4TX &amp; Senate B&amp;C members digging deep into the facts w/ @ERCOT_ISO CEO Magness. Sen @Creightonfortx right on when he said “This is not a Chamber of Commerce update. This is the largest train wreck in the history of deregulated electricity.” #txlege @whitmire_john

Chair @KHancock4TX shows public how power goes from the well head to light switch. Thermal units guarantee production level &amp; have to make up diff. Wind/solar do NOT. Per @ERCOT_ISO CEO, wind failed first starting 2/9 &amp; by 2/14 - 14 MW out. THEN gas failure. no argument #txlege https://t.co/dsoSELEShc
