Top points by @TimMorstad: 1. Be extremely sensitive to adding additional costs on consumers; 2. Be wary of untested proposals; and 3. Expand solutions to include energy efficiency, and give those solutions the same urgency as PCM.
Happening now: @TimMorstad of @AARPTX testifies at #txlege House State Affairs. In opener, he reminds panel that 147 Texans who died in Winter Storm Uri were age 60+ and how "unaffordable power" exacts a high toll on older Texans.

June 19, 1865, marks the day Texas slaves learned they were emancipated. As we commemorate this historic event, we wanted to tell you about the Freedom Tree located in Missouri City, south of Houston. It's where many slaves gathered to hear the news of their freedom.
