TAB CEO @GlennHamer testified against the EPA’s Proposed PM2.5 Rule before a @HouseCommerce Subcommittee. Given the significant progress to reduce emissions, we strongly encourage EPA to maintain the existing standards while continuing to support innovation.

@TXGOPCaucus @toddahunter Happy belated birthday!

[Texas Economic Development Corporation @GoBigInTexas]

Texas is the gateway to global trade for the nation and we can credit that to our state’s vast and diverse infrastructure. From sea ports and airports to the most miles of public roadways, state highways, freight rail and bridges, Texas’ transportation is top notch and another reason our economy thrives.

Congrats to @GovAbbott and @TxDOT for recently announcing more than $100 billion for needed #transportation projects that will keep commerce and Texas moving!

“Texas has a unique opportunity to bring more manufacturing to the Lone Star State. HB 5 is a pro-taxpayer, pro-jobs program that can incentivize a manufacturing…renaissance in Texas to secure our future for generations.” -Mike Culbertson, @CCREDCTX https://t.co/qOsmnuFynL

[Texas Association of Manufacturers @TXManufacturers]

Manufacturing brings new technologies and consumer goods to market, driving our economy forward. In Texas, more than 1,700 manufacturing companies provide employment opportunities across the state. #manufacturingmatters

This coveted project depended on a temporary property tax abatement. Critical for Chairman ⁦@toddahunter⁩‘s HB 5, the Texas Jobs & Security Act, to become law. Keeps Texas as top state for major projects. ⁦@txbiz⁩ and 250+ bix groups support. https://t.co/i0ZwM2Zp8L

Celebrated @Tesla’s new lithium refinery in Robstown.

With the Port of Corpus Christi nearby & Tesla's Gigafactory in Austin, the lithium refined here will work its way into Tesla batteries all over the world.

Together, we will power the TX of tomorrow.

Increasing lithium refining capacity is critical to a sustainable energy economy—today, we're breaking ground on our in-house lithium refinery outside of Corpus Christi, TX.

This facility will also prioritize the elimination of a challenging refinery byproduct (sodium sulfate).

Instead, the byproduct is a mixture of sand & calcium carbonate—a viable additive in the production of construction materials, allowing us to make use of this waste stream.

In the future, we will also process other intermediate lithium feedstocks, including those from recycled batteries & manufacturing scrap.

It ain't braggin' if it's true!
