By protecting oil and gas, Texas will cede its energy leadership to other states | Commentary
A Chesapeake Energy drilling site near Big Wells in South Texas uses fracking.Climate change is a clear and present threat to Texas, our economy and our people. Addressing this threat demands responsible, pragmatic policies that require all Texans to come together.
That means supporting technologies that reduce emissions and position Texas to lead the transition toward carbon-free energy. Congress’ recent passage of a bipartisan bill to fund emissions-reducing infrastructure shows such cooperation is possible. Last year’s bipartisan infrastructure bill supported a range of advanced energy initiatives, including wind, solar and storage projects, hydrogen-based fuels, carbon capture, and even geothermal energy. Such advancements will fuel a boom in any region that takes advantage of them.
A shared vision and focus, coupled with technological advancements, can achieve everyone’s goals of safer communities, less pollution, zero-carbon emissions, equity and justice, and a healthier environment and economy.
