From your Brownwood light meter to Governor Perry's Coffers

“ Ever wonder why the average Texan's electric bill has gone up nearly 80% under Governor Perry ? Or why the state's largest power company is also the state's second-largest lobbyist ? Texas has some of the highest energy costs—not to mention the dirtiest air—in the country because we have some of the dirtiest government in the country. Simple as that. ”

As the summer goes on, you'll be hearing more and more about energy. Americans' wallets are hurting and the career politicians have run out of good ideas. In D.C., all they can propose are paper solutions like a $100 check to make up for $3/gallon gas. Here at home the only solution they have to rolling blackouts in April (April!) is fast-tracking seven new pollution-belching power plants—instead of taking advantage of God-given, non-polluting energy sources like wind and solar and biomass.

As long as our elected officials ignore the chance to innovate, Texans will never be truly independent. As soon as we elect someone with the courage to lead Texas into the future, we will.

Note from Steve Harris:

Brownwood, remember this as you open your light bill or when you see Republican Rick Perry's mug on your TV screen trying to sell you his “Proud of Texas, How about you” BS !
