Federal regulators????
Why would federal regulators be any different?
Why should I accept that nonsense? You've shown no evidence that the Feds would be any better. Did they actually lead the mules as you say? prove that.
Federal regulators were most certainly involved here. But they are also appointees, no different than state guys who are local, whereas Federal guys would be distant and limited to making standard rules equally enforced in all states.
But enough pettifogging from you. This thread isn't about Texas but a pellet plant in Mississippi where Federal authorities let the European Union cheat the green initiatives agreements on a grand scale.
European Union and British regulators decided that emissions from wood-fired power plants would not count the same as pollution from fossil fuel generators, making companies like Drax eligible for billions in subsidies for green energy. The firm received nearly $1.1 billion in clean power subsidies last year alon.
So, please explain the wisdom of "Federal Regulators" leading a Texas mule to water.
