HOUSTON – On Monday, Senate Bill 1750 was passed requiring emergency preparedness plans from those facilities that are within the Texas chain of electric and natural gas.
“The weakness in all the legislation that has passed so far is that there are easy outs,” House Representative Jon Rosenthal of District 135 in the Katy area said.
Rosenthal is a mechanical engineer who has worked in the oil and gas industry for over 20 years.
He told KPRC 2 Investigates the state and its system to supply millions with power and heat is still very exposed.
