In Crockett County, the turbines generate more than just electricity. Money from NextEra supports the meals and events at senior center center, among other benefits. It all comes down to clever utilization of a section of the Texas tax code.

Skyrocketing gas prices, which have surged more than 60 cents per gallon since the start of the war with Iran, have ironically created a direct opening to reframe clean cars and EVs, as well as federal policy investments in them, as an economic and energy security imperative, not just a climate or environmental solution.

New Data for Progress polling assesses how voters view the government’s role in shaping the U.S. economy and growing key industries, as well as how they would feel about new developments in their local community. The survey finds broad public support for the government to take a more active role in supporting new economic development.

While voters generally express high support for new industrial development, only 51% say they would be enthusiastic about a new construction project in their community."
