AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Texas Power Shift: Gina Hinojosa’s election as governor and Jon Rosenthal’s win for the Railroad Commission put energy and environmental policy in the spotlight. Hinojosa has pledged to pause new data-center approvals until safeguards are in place, amid rising grid demand and local resistance. Rosenthal will be the first Democrat on the oil-and-gas regulator in 32 years. Water Concerns: A proposed Texas seawater desalination plant could produce 100 million gallons a day, but questions remain over private ownership and salty discharge. In South Texas, a mine’s plan to release up to a million gallons daily toward the Rio Grande has drawn warnings about toxic metals. Wildlife Health: Texas has restricted animal movement in 14 counties amid a screwworm outbreak. New cases in Arizona underscore the need for vigilance among pet owners and livestock operators.
