Episode 3846: Expensive mission creep on ERCOT grid work | Local government good, bad, & ugly – Pratt on Texas 10/29/2025
Description
The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: A so-called fix for electric reliability for the Texas grid in the Permian Basin has now morphed into a very expensive case of government mission creep. It could actually worsen the fundamental problem we have with non-dispatchable electric power generation.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
Texas Comptroller to Freeze New ‘Historically Underutilized Business’ Certifications. Good, it’s all reverse discrimination B.S. to begin with.
A sane, sound decision out of the Texas Supreme Court on an old case out of Waco over so-called marriages of homosexuals.
Local government good (DeSoto,) bad (Lubbock,) and the ugly (Odessa & Elgin.)
They got this editorial right: NBA scandal was predictable. I just wish they would apply their sound reasoning to most everything else!
