Important piece from Chris Tomlinson. Texas is heading closer and closer to the censorship and political interference of the 1940s and 1950s and will worsen the brain drain.

Renewable folks say the bill could not only stop new development, but also send existing solar & wind projects to an early grave.
Lawmakers say they're trying to help the companies that build natural gas power plants, but even those companies weren't eager to see the bill pass.

The Texas GOP is getting closer than ever to killing the state’s renewable energy boom, according to the industry.
Much of the concern centers around a bill that passed the Senate yesterday requiring backup power for every solar & wind farm in Texas: www.houstonchronicle.com/business/ene...

Texas GOP moves closer to killing the state's renewable energy boom
The bills would require nearly every solar and wind farm in the state to back up their electricity output with natural gas power plants or a fleet of batteries.

China is cracking down on economists who say negative things about the economy. Can I say that it's *extremely* easy to imagine the Trump administration following a similar path?
