Governor P.Ricketts,
In regards to your comments about "radical environmentalists", I'd just like to point out you sound ridiculous and are clearly pandering to your base, when in fact, since our state's economy depends on agriculture, you should be learning from "radical environmentalists" who are all about sustainability of renewable resources such as solar and wind, instead of non-renewable, non-sustainable sources such as natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy.
The Electric Reliability Council of Texas said Tuesday that failures in natural gas, coal and nuclear energy systems were responsible for nearly twice as many outages as frozen wind turbines and solar panels.
Solar panels actually work just fine in cold weather, as you'll note by their inclusion in the International Space Station. From what I understand, it's pretty cold in outer space. In fact, light reflecting off of snow is a good thing for solar panels. Research this stuff, even just a little bit, or you just seem ignorant, spitting out your party's ill-formed platitudes and prove you are not fit to lead.
In the light of climate change, you should be rewarding innovation that would ensure that the state's farmers, the caretakers of the land and animals, and our energy production sites are forward-thinking and prepared for the challenges coming our way.
Do you have a fear of science, or innovation, or is the use of non-sustainable, non-renewable energy sources tied to your pocketbook?
Sincerely,
A Scary Radical Environmentalist who picks up trash because we only have one planet
