Texas' Role in Biden's Climate Agenda and Fusion Power Plant Design

Texas Railroad Commission, which oversees the state's oil and gas industry, is opposing the proposed Environmental Protection Agency rule that would require oil companies to measure how much methane leaks from their operations. The commission approved 95% of companies' applications for permission to burn their excess gas, a process known as flaring, in 2022. The commission's chair, Christi Craddick, has received $1.5 million in campaign donations in 2022, nearly all of it from oil industry executives, lawyers, and drilling service companies.
