In the aftermath of Winter Storm Uri's arctic blast, which left millions of Texans without power, heat or running water, Rep. James Talarico, D-Round Rock, has filed a climate action bill in the Texas House of Representatives.
House Bill 2206, referred to by Talarico as the Texas Climate Action Act, would require the development of a climate action plan to help alleviate future climate-related disasters, according to the Feb. 24 release. If approved, the bill would also establish goals for reducing emissions for 2030, 2040 and 2050.
Last week was a wake up call.
Today I’m introducing the Texas Climate Action Act which will marshal the resources of our state government to fight climate change.
Let’s get it passed. #txlege pic.twitter.com/zrlxu1HIqk
