Texas Scorecard by Katy Marshall April 18, 2023
The National Sunrise Movement wants to “force the government to end the reign of fossil fuel elites.” While Texans raise concerns about the reliability of the state’s power grid, liberal billionaire George Soros is funding an organization that wants to make El Paso dependent on unreliable energy sources.
The group Sunrise El Paso is lobbying citizens to adopt a “climate charter” calling for the city to “use all available resources and authority” to limit its use of so called “fossil fuels.”
If voters amend the city charter by approving Proposition K in a May 6 election, the El Paso City Council must create a climate department and hire a climate director to determine the climate impact of city laws and “advance the cause of climate justice.” The city would also have to form a nine-member climate commission, which would oversee the implementation and enforcement of climate policy.
Sunrise El Paso is a self-described “radical” activist group that aims to “end the exploitation of the masses” by eliminating the use of fossil fuels. The group describes itself as “youth-led” and “Latinx-led.”
We’re building an army of ordinary young people to make the climate crisis an urgent priority across America and here in the El Paso area by ending the corrupting influence of fossil fuel executives on our politics and elected leaders who stand up for the health and well-being of all people regardless of class, race, or economic status.More:
