Title: Texas Needs More Reliable and Affordable Energy Options
Topic: Energy Makes America Great

Discussed by Wayne Christian
with Wayne Christian (ChristianForTexas.com)

Wayne Christian is the Chairman of the Texas Railroad Commissioner and will be on the ballot in November. Today he discusses the negative aspects of wind and solar energy and urges the building of more thermal power plants – natural gas, coal, and/or nuclear.

He recently wrote: “The Houston Chronicle claims that without wind and solar the Texas electric grid would be in trouble, but the opposite is true. It’s because of wind and solar we’re in trouble, and it’s only thanks to thermal energy did Texas avoid problems this time. If real life were like sports, thermal energy would be the MVP and wind and solar would get a participation trophy.”

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Storytime: One player scored 68 points in a 3-man basketball game, another scored 11 points, and the third only scored 1 point. Why would a sports writer choose to declare the player who scored only 1 point as the player of the game? Wayne says: “Because that’s the one they’re promoting and want to win. It’s like rigging a casino in Las Vegas… Logic is out the window.”

Is wind energy designed to produce more than 1,000 MW in Texas?

How much money has Texas spent to date for unreliable wind and solar energy? Answer: Approximately $66 billion, subsidizing an additional $22 billion! Wayne mentions recent information released by the Texas Public Policy Foundation.

The Texas population grew about 16% from 2010 to 2020 and is still growing by approximately 1,000 per day. As a result, new wind and solar plants are being built. BUT… Can the “green energy” keep up with demand? ANSWER: NOPE! Are new thermal power plants – natural gas, coal, and/or nuclear – needed? ANSWER: YES!

Are Texans being gaslighted into believing wind and solar energy can supply our needs for affordable, reliable electricity? Book Reference: “Fossil Future” by Alex Epstein

Would shutting down oil and gas activity in Texas be devasting for consumers?

Title: Oil Production in Texas - Christian
Topic: Oil & Gas

Discussed by Wayne Christian
with Wayne Christian (ChristianForTexas.com)

According new federal data Oil production in Texas has hit its highest monthly rate on record, more than doubling in less than three years.

The state pumped 2.7 million barrels of crude per day during September, the highest monthly average since at least January 1981. Texas oil production had been declining since the U.S. Energy Information Administration’s monthly record-keeping began in 1981. But the tide abruptly turned in 2008 with the beginning of the shale oil and gas boom.

Wayne Christian, candidate for Texas Railroad Commissioner, discusses this and more.
