Well aware that Texas has mass quantities of natural gas. What we are allowed to do with it.....go about obtaining it......storing it....etc. is the problem. We also have a lot of oil. Unfortunately, the refineries were eliminated. And the God awful, worthless windmills were installed 🙄
What refineries were eliminated name one please. Texas city and Valero both have expanded capacity in the last decade. Do tell I’m in Texas city on the regular catching a ride to rigs in the gulf. Port A was completely rebuilt after Ike. 30% of the USA liquid fuels come from those three places. Wind has never replaced liquid petrochemicals or fuel its a myth that wind or solar was substituted for them. Texas has installed 31,000 megawatts of wind moslty in west texas and panhandle but that has zero influence on the refineries on the gulf coast. Texas since 2008 has fraced not one but 4 basins for natural gas on a massive scale. The Barnett, Permian, Eagle ford, and Delaware basins I personally have drilled well over 500 wells since 2008 in all four of those basins it is the reason gas fell from $12MMbtu to $2.5 and why 40+% of Texas power capacity is gas fired coal and nuclear simply cannot.complete.economic with $3 mmbtu gas. Putting so much capacity in one fuel that doesn’t have a large.scale.storage medium.is why we lost 30,000 megawatts of it in a single night.
