Great presentation from APTIM and @txcomptroller on SECO's new HOMES and HEARS program from federal IRA money. Program should be available this fall hopefully for energy efficiency rebates -

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

Great presentation at @ERCOT_ISO board from Pia Orrenius, Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Biggest concerns? labor concerns due to less migration and immigration - cut by more than half from a year ago, inflation and federal cuts to safety programs.

Congrats to @RudyDGarza on his appointment as GM of @LCRA @texassierraclub looks forward to working with Garza and his team on both electric and water issues. Just don't forget that energy and water conservation is the first "conservative" principle! https://t.co/U6O86jauk9

Bad news? that item @TexasSierraClub went to @TPWDnews to support was withdrawn from the agenda on mountain lion kills. @GregAbbott_TX - know about this?

At @twdb public hearing on state water plan

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

@austinenergy brought 3 contracts last week to City council on storage, wind and gas peakers. @TexasSierraClub and @SierraClubATX were for the first 2, but against the peaker contracts. Now we'll work to assure there are community protections. https://t.co/SVxDHkde13

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

Appreciate comments from Texas Legislators filed with @EPA against the proposed rollback of protections from ethylene oxide at commercial medical facilities. Here's a great one from @VikkiGoodwinTX calling on @epa to reject the rollback https://t.co/8YPJeLkRoH

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

pleasure to appear on TV in Amarillo to talk about our concerns with large-scale data center development and some needed safeguards for energy, air quality and water use! @kevinsparkstx @PhilKingTX @KingForTexas @Burrows4TX @DrSchwertner @electcharles https://t.co/qwNA7ASOs9

⁦@KingForTexas⁩ important committee meeting today!

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

Nearly 1/2 of people living in the U.S. reside in counties with failing grades for air pollution. @EPA spent the last year gutting protections to #CutMethane and other dangerous pollutants. W/out EPA’s help, it will get worse. Learn more: https://t.co/KR9IcAZdTS #StateOfTheAir

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

Riveting testimony today at the #SpecialInvestigativeCommittee on Floods - watch live here https://t.co/q6KXpK4Ub9. We can't change the past but we can pass better policy going forward @LoisKolkhorst @TexasSierraClub did submit some ideas https://t.co/Nn4NI6gUE5

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

Interesting discussion today in #txlege

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

On a very interesting call on the proposed @ERCOT_ISO batch process. I am beginning to understand why we need a batch process - they are overwhelmed by these requests that have come in droves since late 2024

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

@KingForTexas just announced there will be another hearing on data centers with opportunity for direct public testimony maybe later this month. Good news for 1000s of Texans concerned about large loads in their back yard!

[Cyrus Reed @cyrustx]

#ActOnMethane @EPA moves in wrong direction. #txlege we need to step up https://t.co/uM35ZtSakx

I can see the moon right here from my house but appreciated seeing the dark side in the NASA feed!
