Texas legislative efforts fail to curtail wind and solar development

 

The efforts of some legislators in Texas to rein in the state’s wind and solar industry are dead after several of their bills missed a deadline in the state House before Monday’s end of the legislative session.

One of the bills would have put strict limits on where wind and solar farms could be located. Another would have created a requirement to help natural gas by requiring every new watt of wind and solar to be accompanied by a watt of new gas.

The bills passed in the Texas Senate but leaders in the state House refused to put them on a calendar for a vote.
