"I believe that treatment and disposal of produced water may be the most consequential question for our state's energy industry." --Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright. I agree and agree as he said that if Texas doesn't solve the problem, federal intervention will follow.
Glad to hear Railroad Commissioner Jim Wright say he's concerned about shifting produced water disposal to shallow aquifers in response to seismicity. Shallow disposal of untreated produced water is not the answer. @texaswatertrade @PW_Society
Mindblown
One of my all-time favourites. Stare at the red dot on the woman's nose for 30 seconds, then look at an empty wall while blinking quickly. Promise it's worth it... bit.ly/2UbzN7W

Brazilian priest Juan Pablo takes abandoned dogs off the streets, and feeds and bathes them. Then he introduces a dog to each Mass and to find each one a home. 🤍

This is a triop — a small, three-eyed crustacean. Following a torrential summer downpour in northern Arizona in October 2021, hundreds of bizarre, prehistoric-looking critters emerged from tiny eggs, that can stay dormant for decades, waiting for water: buff.ly/3lbDzso
And still nobody seems to be noticing we're in the most severe drought in a decade, closely mirroring the most severe drought in modern history...
Austin-area reservoir levels compared to a long-term average, the previous two years, and 2011. Cool that the cool kids @twdb added 2011 to their Water Data for Texas webtool: waterdatafortexas.org/reserv… #txwater
So proud to have @texaswatertrade's work to buy water for coastal habitats featured by @Scripps_Ocean. See our Dir. of Conservation Finance talk about why we're meeting the needs of oysters and other coastal resources by "going to the water store." thedenverchannel.com/news/na…

My thoughts on what #Austin needs from its next #Water Director. #climatechange #drought #growth are conspiring against our most basic service which has failed us time and again over the last decade. @spencercronk please restart your search. statesman.com/story/opinion/…
This is the question I keep asking...

#ERCOT is showing a larger supply-demand deficit than on Monday—but no communications at all yet this morning. About 2.7GW more gas/coal is projected to be offline today than on Monday, while wind & solar are at similar levels to Monday.
