Legislation could undermine Texas’ power grid ability to meet forecasted demand

April 1605:00 AM
 

ODESSA — Texas is growing. People are moving to the state in droves. Companies want to build their facilities here. Sustaining the growth will require nearly double the electricity the grid deploys today. The state’s grid operator can meet the moment, Pablo Vegas, president and CEO of the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, told a panel of lawmakers last week.So long as politics don't interfere.  “I think the market as structured today is very well suited to support the growth trajectories that we're seeing,” Vegas said. “And it's not just the government support functions. It's the fact that we have a very light regulatory environment that enables businesses to put their capital to work here with reasonable restrictions and reasonable requirements.” view article  arw

In the West Texas measles outbreak, a new battle emerges — misinformation

April 1605:00 AM
 

Vaccine critics have downplayed the role of measles in two Texas girls’ deaths, peddled unproven measles treatments and exaggerated the dangers of the vaccine.  When Daisy Hildebrand became the second Texas child to die of measles on April 3, her physicians reported – per the state health code – the 8-year-old’s death to local officials in Lubbock where she died and in tiny Gaines County where the girl lived.In deference to the girl’s family, who planned to bury her the following Sunday, officials determined that sharing the news with the public could wait until the following week. “There’s a protocol that is generally followed,” said Zach Holbrooks, the executive director of the South Plains Public Health District, which covers four counties, including Gaines. “We put information out in a measured, careful manner.” view article  arw
