If renewables are allowed to grow unfettered, they will flood the market and back out more and more gas and coal in the generation mix and thereby reduce their income. Without adequate income, no new gas generation will be built, and even existing gas generation could become unprofitable and shut down. The result is we lose important dispatchable gas generation, which is necessary because sun and wind are unpredictable and therefore unreliable.
Look at the numbers. If Texas accepted Medicaid expansion, the federal funding that Texas would receive is about $6 billion. Texas would only have to fund approximately $600 million. As a Texas voter, I know I’m very tired of hearing of these shootings, and it hurts my heart that children and teachers continue to lose their lives because our legislators fail to act on gun safety.
The gun problem in this country is based, in part, on a false reading of our Constitution. Former Supreme Court Chief Justice Warren Burger, a conservative, said: “The real purpose of the Second Amendment was to ensure that state armies — the militia — would be maintained for defense of the state. The very language of the Second Amendment refutes any argument that it was intended to guarantee every citizen an unfettered right to any weapon he or she desires.
