Comment on Texas Senate passes bill requiring solar plants to provide power at night

Hmmm, I wonder how that’ll jibe with the presidents executive order on energy:

Protecting American Energy from State Overreach: This order instructs the Attorney General to identify and challenge state and local laws that could impede the development or use of domestic energy resources . . .

Of course the AG would have to step in and actually do something

understand that the EO meant fossil fuels exclusively, mango mussolini hates renewables (especially wind, which has been HUGE in texas)

  Technically not about fossil fuels exclusively, as they include hydro, bio-mass, and nuclear in their list of priorities
  
  Sec 3a
  
  . . . undue burden on identification, development, or use of domestic energy resources — with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, biofuels, critical mineral, and nuclear energy resources . . .
  
  In a functioning government the AG, independent from executive influence, could act on this, but I certainly don’t have hope for the current administration
