A rather direct Tweet from Texas Governor Greg Abbott
Texas to United Nations: Pound Sand
The world is reeling from spiraling fuel costs caused by premature over-reliance on renewable energy.
High fuel costs punish middle class families & stoke the supply chain crisis.
Texas oil & gas is needed right now.
Originally tweeted by Greg Abbott (@GregAbbott_TX) on October 25, 2021.
The article to which he responded includes this:
UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres says Texas is well-positioned to lead the way in the production of renewables.
“If Texas wants to remain prosperous in 2050 or 2070, Texas will have to diversify its economy and Texas will have to be less dependent on oil and gas,” Guterres said. “It has all the conditions to be – because of the weather in Texas – a leading state in renewable energy in the US,” he added.
Texas is the nation’s largest producer of crude oil and natural gas and the largest emitter of carbon dioxide. While it is deeply entrenched in a carbon-based economy, the state is also the largest producer of wind energy in the United States.
“Texas is prosperous today because Texas is based on what was the main factor of what was wealth and power in the last century. Oil and gas. What we are seeing is, with things changing, the green economy will tend to be preponderant in the future,” Guterres said.

Thank you governor Abbott. It’s about time someone stood up to these bullies.
Wait – let me check….Right, here it is in black and white on page 45 of the Climatists handbook “How To Talk To Climate Deniers” it says to “Appeal to their own economic self-interest, by showing how investing more on green energy now, and less on fossil fuels will pay off economically. Point out that green, or renewable energy is the future, and that they need to get on board, or they risk being left behind”.
Of course, like everything they spout, it is all complete lies.
We need to convince the greenies to give up all that they have that are in part available because of fossil fuels. Basically, that would leave them naked in the streets with no roof over head.
The ‘spiralling’ fuel costs are NOTHING whatever to do with renewables.
It is natural gas etc which is the problem… price and inefficiencies in supply.
Keep repeating that lie. One of these days even you might actually believe it.
See my earlier comment above, willfully ignorant fool. Injection of Junk Energy (aka wind and solar) into the mix with the government’s boot on the scale in the form of mandates, subsidies and “tax credits” that can be sold or used before a watt of energy is produced means an artificial suppression of REAL energy producers (aka fossil fuels, nuke [and hydro when/where available]) which decreases supply beyond where “economic downturn” would ever have reduced it.
Thereby causing The Problem.
“Inefficiencies in supply”?? and you are defending wind and solar?? One of the main reasons for supply below demand is the excessive and continuous pressure to reduce investment in reliable fossil fuels along with all the activism to shut down pipelines and lock in resources. All of that is clearly directly related to the global warming scam, and the push for unreliables. Your analysis lacks any shred of credibility.
Texan’s tip =
What are the odds Guterrres has ever been to TX? Zero.
What are the odds the US ambassador to the UN fed him this attack for his speech? 100%
