Abbott AUSTIN – No Texan voted for the California officials who are orchestrating climate change “lawfare” against his state’s energy sector – oil and gas companies that employ hundreds of thousands and bring in billions in tax revenue, says Gov.

Currently, the Texas Supreme Court is considering ExxonMobil’s petition of review, which asserts California municipalities and a Massachusetts lawyer are attempting to chill speech and commandeer public policy, subjecting them to personal jurisdiction in Texas courts. On May 6, Abbott filed a brief in support of Exxon, asking the Supreme Court to grant the petition for review in order to “resolve an important legal question with major implications for the energy sector in the State of Texas.”

For decades, there was no reliable way of evacuating people in the event of a severe storm; the only way on or off the island was by small plane or boat, neither of which are available or safe during high winds, storm surges, and inundation. A bridge to the mainland was only recently completed. Meanwhile, the island is rapidly eroding
