Writers maintained that Texas needs more power capacity; suggested that life is foremost; deplored Abbott’s spending on the border; and excoriated the former president’s version of victory.Our deregulated marketThis editorial tries to make the case that in the long term we can reduce the risk of blackouts by conserving. With our deregulated market rules, that is pure fallacy.
I am not suggesting conservation is a bad thing. Nor am I suggesting that diversity of supply is bad. What is bad is our deregulated market rules give power companies every incentive to cut it as close as they can and push spot prices up as much as they can. What is even worse is that we won’t connect our grid to the rest of the country.While we watch and mourn the fire that has threatened giant sequoias in Yosemite National Park, little is being done to combat global warming.
In addition to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” — the quintessential American creed — safety and security are emphasized in the declaration as a fundamental objective of a government’s existence. The preamble to the Constitution strikes a similar note, inaugurating the foundations of an enduring social contract and the government’s role; it is the unequivocal cipher to decode the Founding Fathers’ intent.
Any Texan who has thoughts of keeping Gov. Greg Abbott in office needs to read this article many, many times over. The governor has been taking money out of the general fund, our hard-earned taxes needed to keep Texas going into a solid future, and he has been wasting $4 billion on border safety and blaming the feds.
