Tell the Texas Legislature to Say NO to the Stealth Tax on Wind and Solar Energy
Texas legislators want to give the oil and gas industry a handout. House Bill 433, filed by State Rep. Ken King, would impose a new tax on all sources of electrical generation in Texas except natural gas. This would give an unfair economic advantage to a fuel which is a leading driver of climate change and whose extraction requires the use of vast amount of water and leaves much of this water polluted with toxic chemicals. The cost of green energy such as wind and solar would be artificially increased, and these increases would be passed on to ordinary ratepayers.
