Texas Progressives talk power, climate, more

Texas electricity needs could nearly double in six years. Wait for: More attacks on renewables by wingnuts. Blackouts and brownouts. Don't wait for: Texas asking to once again (it did many decades ago) join the national grid.

Don't believe the lies of the farm industry. Global ag, namely, global animal ag, is a BIG part of climate change. Unfortunately, the G7 (like the last global climate summit) refuses to do anything.

Off the Kuff notes Greg Abbott's appointments to a new set of courts intended to avoid Democratic judges for as long as possible.

The Texas Signal reports on anti-abortion centers, formerly referred to as crisis pregnancy centers.
