I'm on the second book from Arc of a Scythe... Thunderhead... and the stuff about Texas being a Charter Region has got me tied up in fits of laughter.

Texans, if you care about climate change, vote in the Railroad Commission election this November

Leaders who will tackle polluters could be the driving force to set the state up to win in the global energy transition.

For Texan voters, Cristina Tzintzún Ramirez, a primary Democratic Senate candidate who was endorsed by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, wrote an op-ed reminding Texans that the Railroad Commissioner election is important if you care about the climate crisis. The Democratic candidate for the Railroad Commissioner is Chrysta Castañeda, whose platform is taking flaring more seriously than the anti-regulation incumbent.

If you care about climate change, look down ballot. Keep going after you make your pick for president and the Senate. Down in the statewide races, cloaked by a misleading name, is a critical choice. Don’t miss it. Texas voters have a power other Americans don’t. 

Oil and gas drillers ask for permission to waste Texas’ natural resources by venting natural gas straight into the atmosphere or flaring it (burning it off) and the Railroad Commission routinely approves them without even so much as a hearing. One commissioner can require a hearing and require producers to prove the necessity of flaring a greenhouse gas (methane) that is 86 times more potent than CO2. Another seat on the three member commission will be up in 2022. Electing candidates to these seats that take seriously their role to regulate oil and gas could have far reaching implications. Advocates that care deeply about climate change could move our state — long synonymous with oil and gas — into a clean energy future that will better position the state to succeed long term.

Check out the nonpartisan Vote411 which directly sources the profile and campaign pages from the candidates when elections are close.

However, sometimes Vote 411 misses some local candidates and races. So you’ll have to check out your County Election office and ask for a sample ballot and then Google your potential choices from there.

Every time I think of Grant Cohen having a mental breakdown due to Joey's reckless spending, I cackle cause I always imagined Grant as the most stereotypical Texan to ever live, and it's fucking hysterical to me to think of him sobbing in his office over taxes. With his 10-gallon hat. And his bolo tie.

Kinder Morgan: Stop the Permian Highway Pipeline in the Texas Hill Country!

The Hill Country is a great place for many things: recreation, swimming, fishing, touring, hiking, agriculture and ranching, but we do not believe that it is the best choice for a pipeline transporting fracked gas, and possibly crude oil in the future.

If you’re a Texan, sign the petition.

Contact your officials to speak out against the pipeline
