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.

Fighting Big Oil in Texas
How would you react if oil drillers wanted to spread their toxic waste on an open field next to your drinking water supply? You would surely be as outraged as the people of Chireno and Nacogdoches were last summer when they reached out to Clean Water Action for help.
Thanks to the support of Clean Water Action members, we were able to stop Common Disposal's request to spread oil sludge from drilling operations next to a tributary of Lake Sam Rayburn – a major drinking water supply for East Texas.
