Promoting Clean Energy and Economic Opportunity for All Texans

[Pat Wood III @patwood3]

Chris, right on. We’re late to the game but unlike health care, not too late on energy

Clean energy is good for hot Texas summer days. Today it’s solar power’s time to shine. #txlege #txenergy

[Daniel Cohan @cohan_ds]

Solar keeping the lights on in ERCOT today. Unusually tight and pricy for a warm but unexceptional June weekend afternoon, with winds slow.

[TX Clean Energy Coalition @TXCleanEnergy]

#cleanenergy is even better for Texans’ pocketbooks this weekend: #salestaxholiday means Texans can save on water- and energy-efficient products. https://t.co/I4L0XcWqHf

New from our friends @cnsrvtxns4nrg: "Opportunity is knocking at Texas’ door. We should quickly open it to welcome ... Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), and the opportunities it brings are enormous and unlimited." #txenergy #txlege https://t.co/uWEXP1exkk

Ahead of what promises to be a looong night at the Capitol, @douglewinenergy breaks down the proposals in #SB3 the Lege’s biggest response to the #texasblackouts, set for committee hearing tonight. #txlege #txenergy

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

The most consequential storm response bill of the session, #SB3 will be heard in House State Affairs today, likely late tonight after the lenghty debate on the voting restriction bill (SB7).

A 🧵on what #SB3 would do if passed in its current form.

Clean energy from wind and solar helped @forthood stay ready during the #texasblackout. #txlege #txenergy

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

The world's biggest military base didn't lose power during the #TexasBlackouts. @FortHood has a 15MW #solar installation and 50MW of W Texas wind. Public Works Dir Brian Dosa: “The solar and wind both helped. There’s no doubt." A 🧵

This is now the best graphic I've seen on the #TexasBlackout. Seems like there's a new best one every day. A lot going on here. Thanks @BPBartholomew! cc: @MichaelEWebber @joshdr83 @cohan_ds #txlege #txenergy

Hey @elonmusk our $$ is on Texas #cleanenergy #CCS entrepreneurs to bring this baby home. #txlege #txenergy

[TX Clean Energy Coalition @TXCleanEnergy]

We agree with @Glenn_Hegar —clean energy is good business for Texas. #txenergy #txlege

[Glenn Hegar @Glenn_Hegar]

Texas has long led the way in embracing all solutions to meeting our energy needs. Our state shows that traditional and alternative forms of energy are both critical in a growing and dynamic economy

Great new research from @joshdr83 on the market driven transition to clean energy in @ERCOT_ISO.

[Joshua D. Rhodes @joshdr83]

Fifteen years of fuel mixes in @ERCOT_ISO show 2020 as the year that wind finally overtook coal and solar generated enough energy to get its own color on the chart!

[TX Clean Energy Coalition @TXCleanEnergy]

Clean energy is good for business. Texas leads heavily in #windpower and continues to add new wind and #solarenergy. And we've done it the Texas way: by unleashing our #energyexpertise in the open @ERCOT_ISO market. #txlege #txenergy

[EIA @EIAgov]
