Texas governor tells the U.N. to go 'pound sand'
By Monica Showalter

The United Nations, awash in greenie ideology, has decided that now would be a good time to horn in on the state of Texas's internal energy production. For its own good, of course:

NEW YORK — The leader of the United Nations says Texas must end its reliance on oil and gas production to remain prosperous in the era of climate change.

At a UN summit next month, world leaders will be asked to rapidly cut greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030. A vast increase in the production of renewable energy will be required to reach those targets.
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.

That prompted just the right response from Texas's no-nonsense governor, Greg Abbott:

Texas and Florida are leading the way.

Diversifying the local economy is a good idea, but NOT by cutting back on fossil fuel production.

Telling the UN to eff off is low hanging fruit.

If he wants to impress America he'll tell the feds to get bent & seal the TX border.

Don't know Abbott.

Don't even remember hearing his name before.

BUT.....,I just became an instant fan.

I have to stop right here. If I go any further with my thoughts on the UN,I will end up getting the boot from Nancy,and it would be a self-defense move by her I couldn't criticize.

Let's just say I get a little dizzy every time I think about them,and leave it at that.
