A TEXAS-SIZE CLASH OVER MASSIVE TRANSMISSION-LINE PROJECT

Discussed by Dr. Bonner Cohen
with Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (www.cfact.org)

People want the lights to come on when they flip the switch. They want their electronics to charge and the frig to stay cold. People “hope” this will all happen inexpensively. But will it?

Today, Dr. Bonner Cohen discusses the proposals put forth by Governor Abbott and what they mean for the taxpayer. Dr. Cohen is a Senior Policy Analyst with the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

How is power transmitted to us – the consumer?

After the Texas deep-freeze in February 2021, studies were commissioned to minimize future power disruptions. Did these studies result in any changes? Dr. Cohen reveals that no positive changes were made, but negative changes were.

What is the estimated cost for the long-distance extension cords (high voltage transmission lines) which are required for these changes? NOTE: THIS NUMBER INCLUDES OVER 10 ZEROS – WITHOUT A DECIMAL POINT!

Does that cost include building new dispatchable generating plants or building more solar and/or wind farms? Dr. Cohen has a warning for Texas taxpayers…

Why have the plans for the high voltage transmission lines been put on hold, but not terminated?

What are the next steps? Dr. Cohen discusses the best alternatives.

BOOM: SPAIN WENT FULL-ON TRUMP ON ILLEGAL INVADERS

Discussed by Todd Bensman
with The Heritage Foundation (www.Heritage.org)

Todd Bensman is a border security expert at The Heritage Foundation. Today, he discusses the massive illegal invasion that happened at the end of July in Spain and what the US can learn from their Socialist-type tendancies. Todd is the author of “Overrun: How Joe Biden Unleashed the Greatest Border Crisis in U.S. History”.

Click here to read Todd’s op-ed on this important issue.

Questions/Issues Discussed:

Spain’s socialist Prime Minister was very pro-immigration until the illegal invasion tsunami on July 30th and 31st. What happened that caused him to go full-on Trump?

Where did the Spanish Prime Minister send the illegal invaders back to? Have any others attempted to enter Spain’s borders illegally?

What happened in America when President Trump closed the borders? Todd says this of Trump’s strategy: “It’s very simple: Stop them when they come in. Turn them around. And it will end.”

What happened to the minors who came across the border on July 30th and 31st? Todd discusses the international rules regarding illegal children.

Can Spain’s reaction be a teachable moment for US immigration enforcement?

Why did Todd write “Overrun”? (link above) This is a great story! Listen in…

QUESTIONS / ISSUES DISCUSSED:

Will wealth help alleviate your pain when you are experiencing the ground shake beneath your feet?

For other things that don’t help us, listen to yesterday’s segment.

WHAT DOES HELP? Wait on God. (Psalm 62:1-5)

Why is waiting for an answer so difficult?

Why is waiting in silence even more difficult?

Why is waiting alone also difficult? Notice the word “alone” is used six times in Psalm 62.
