Stopping Bad Bills in Texas

$50,000 Match Remaining
Legislation has been introduced in Texas that would thwart renewable energy and promote fossil fuel development in a state where the impacts could not be more consequential. In recent years, the plummeting costs of wind and solar have allowed renewables to compete with fossil fuels in a state that is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases in the country – and Texas now generates more renewable energy than any other state by a long shot. The Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance and Texas Consumer Association are leading efforts to block the ideological attacks on renewable energy and move forward bills that will help consumers and increase grid reliability.
  • Texas Advanced Energy Business Alliance (TAEBA) is the Texas chapter of Advanced Energy United is deeply involved in efforts to stop bad anti-renewable bills while also promoting transmission expansion and energy waste reduction.
  • Texas Consumer Association and the Consumer Fund of Texas are consistently providing focused research and advocacy showing how anti-renewable bills would hurt Texas consumers. Two new studies are in the works to come out in the next few weeks; TCA will use support here to make sure people see the research and understand the negative impacts.
