Third Act Texas
@thirdacttexas.bsky.social
We’re Third Act Texas, a ThirdAct.org working group that got its start in late 2023. We’re seasoned pros (old and bold!) on a mission: safeguarding democracy and keeping the climate liveable for the next generations. 🌎
You can help ensure that Texas Gov. Greg "Dirt Bag" Abbott and President Satan (Trump?) have a really bad day. How? Just join a phone bank in support of Proposition 50 (2025).
In California, they call it the “Election Rigging Response Act.” We call it GENIUS! thirdact.org/events/yes-o...

Let your elected officials know that we do NOT intend to go back.
Today’s proposal to repeal key power plant and pollution standards, alongside the other deregulatory actions previewed by Zeldin in March, would undo life-saving improvements to air quality and leave millions of Americans exposed to health-harming pollution.

‘Water is the new oil’ as Texas cities square off over aquifers
Read the full story at Inside Climate News. In Central Texas, a bitter fight over a $1 billion water project offers a preview of the future for much of the state as decades of rapid growth push past the local limits of its most vital natural resource. On one side: Georgetown, the fastest growing city in America for three years straight, which in 2023 signed a contract with an investor-funded enterprise to quickly begin importing vast volumes of water from the Simsboro Formation of the Carrizo Wilcox Aquifer, 80 miles to the east.

Texas JUST hit a new winter power demand record - 80,000MW. #ERCOT

High demand = higher energy bills for Texans. Don't waste time & money on expensive gas plants and nuclear projects, #txlege should invest in #energyefficiency to lower costs and keep the grid reliable.
