According to the Texas Department of State Health Services, nearly 300 people died from the heat last year. At least one of those deaths was from Bexar County.

Anyone figure out lining the sides of roads with native plants can help and if done from seed will adapt better and if never cut or topped it will not self destruct like all the cut and topped trees in cities.

So what's Abbutt doing about it besides trying to hamstring alternative energy which reduces load on the grid?

Abbott has done such a fine job for Texas!

The problem is the solution. Solar power and battery storage. Take the load off the grid and power the houses directly.

To me what I think Texas needs to do the next time we have another heat wave is that we need to be prepared for it and a lot of people need to start recycling so the way that we can protect our planet from stuff like this and also we need people to start reading farmers neck so let’s make sure that 24 Texas will be prepared so the way that we can save our planet for our kids generation in their next next generations years to come give me a thumbs up if you like my comment🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🤘🤘🤘 go Texas Longhorns
