Commissioners’ Corner

Chairman Christian

COMMISSIONERS’ CORNER

In May, Chairman Christian traveled to Denton, Borne, Galveston and more cities across the state, meeting with constituents and discussing the importance oil and gas plays in our economy. He talked with Texans about how the U.S. should be divesting from hostile countries and harnessing American oil and gas, especially right here in Texas, to alleviate rising energy costs and growing inflation. He boasted that Lone Star State is ready to meet U.S. energy needs to lower costs for hardworking Texas, should the Biden Administration get out of the way and let Texas lead.

Commissioner Craddick

COMMISSIONERS’ CORNER

This month, Commissioner Christi Craddick and the Railroad Commission of Texas unveiled the Texas Electricity Supply Chain Map to legislative staff and TERC members. This release comes after months of hard work and collaboration with our partners at the Public Utility Commission, Electric Reliability Council of Texas, Texas Department of Emergency Management, and industry leaders. By overlaying the data provided by each agency, Texans will be better served during weather-related emergencies. Additionally, Commissioner Craddick was pleased to provide updates to several Chambers of Commerce Leadership classes at the Texas Capitol. Members of Leadership Abilene and Leadership Sweetwater were very engaged with the state government process, and Craddick appreciated the opportunity to share regulatory updates on the oil and gas industry in Texas.
