LATE NIGHT THOUGHTS: Texas Republicans rammed through the process without regard for rules or regular process to justify “election integrity,” after the Texas Secretary of State called the 2020 election, “free, fair, safe and secure.” #txlege #JimCrow2_0 #SB7 So what does the Texas Attorney General do in response to that? He exhausted 22,000 staff hours and spent $250k in a desperate attempt to find some evidence of widespread voter fraud. So, do you want to know what the result of this “investigation” was?

Watching testimony in Texas House joint committee hearing now....

house.texas.gov/video-audio/ First up are CEO's for Vista Energy and NRG. CEO of Vistra says natural gas availability to generation plants was the single biggest issue for energy shortage and methanol injection could have mitigated this issue. (This is exactly what I've said too)

THREAD: Sharing my perspective today – I’ve worked in Oil & Gas for 25+ years and now serve on the Texas House Energy Resources Committee.  The price crash in WTI (West Texas Intermediate Crude) today is unprecedented.  
#LetsTalkData #txlege #OilPrices We’ve been saying “unprecedented” a lot lately, so I’ll try to break this down so we understand a little more about what has happened and what it means. This really is a devastating blow to our oil industry. We’ve never EVER seen a negative price on a barrel of oil.

A THREAD: Being a mechanical engineer for 25+ years, I love math! I appreciate the fact I get to use it as the proud Representative for Texas House District 135 in the Texas Legislature. So, let’s do a little math. #DoTheMath #txlege We’ll be breaking down the real life effect of SB 2 and HJR 3, bills that were “supposed” to positively impact Texans. Spoiler alert: they don’t. #DoTheMath #txlege
