Blockbuster!!! HISD superintendent Mike Miles laundering Texas tax dollars through his TX charter schools to subsidize his three insolvent charters in Colorado. Another gubernatorial approved grift? kudos to @brett_shipp & @spectrumnews1tx #txlege #quorumreport
While Texas schools struggle with a huge budget deficits, @SpectrumNews1TX has discovered that millions of Texas education tax dollars are being diverted out of state to the series of charter schools founded by #HISD’s state appointed Supt. Mike Miles.

It's pretty shocking that we have no data on how many people have died from extreme heat in one of the hottest cities in the U.S.

Learned a ton about the failures of plastics recycling - both conventional (aka mechanical) and chemical - during this interview with @enckj of @PlasticsBeyond.

For @EnviroIntegrity's latest pod, I interviewed @PublicCitizenTX's Adrian Shelly about Proposition 7, which would funnel up to $10 billion in taxpayer money to natural gas power plant developers. Today is the last day of early voting ends, with Election Day next Tues., Nov. 7!

It really is that simple!
I am drafting federal legislation to connect Texas to the national electric grids. People shouldn’t lose power in a heat wave or a winter storm. When we need help, we’ll draw power from other states, and when other states need help, we can sell power to them. It’s that simple.

Albert Garcia died beneath a highway underpass last weekend. Summer temps have been well over 100 most days. But those temps are recorded at San Antonio International Airport. His spot was much hotter than that. How hot? Ride with us across downtown #SanAntonio 🧵

Thank you, @GJGarciaSanchez! Would highly recommend you to anyone looking to better understand energy issues in Mexico and how they affect relations with the U.S. and other countries.
It was a pleasure to share my views with @bgibbs on US-Mexico energy relations and how they impact US LNG exports to Asia. When it comes to natural gas, intl companies learnt how to convince the AMLO administration to work with them. Not the same fate of other energy companies.

Wind and solar are cranking out so much power in Texas that it looks like we are having to curtail solar during a heatwave! We need more #transmission to move that cheap power to those air-conditioners!

My latest is a 5-years-long collab with @bgibbs who first broke the story that Honey Creek Ranch would be made into a subdivision in 2018. Brendan's coverage undoubtedly helped change the fate of this ranch which will now be a Texas state park. Proof that #JournalismMatters
The ranch’s acquisition by the state preserves an environmentally sensitive plot of land upstream of Guadalupe River State Park and Honey Creek State Natural Area off State Highway 46, northwest of Bulverde. sanantonioreport.org/honey-c…

This salad is both dead simple to make and highly luscious. It gets a velvety richness from the avocados. nyti.ms/3oJ2vfk
