I understand solar has been our lifesaver over the summer months and all of us with our ACs on. What can we do for winter? Wind? Nuclear?

More gas and nuclear generators for grid capacity and stability. Right on Senator, the Ledge will have to get involved.

Texas needs to eliminate property taxes. Stop making people rent their property from the government
