U.S. Rep. Casar says rural GOP support can help pass his bill to connect Texas' grid
U.S. Rep. Greg Casar said Thursday that building support with some Republican lawmakers, especially those from rural areas, will be key to passing his recent bill to connect Texas' stand-alone power grid with the rest of the nation. Casar, a progressive Democrat whose district spans San Antonio and Austin, made the comments during an Alamo City press conference promoting his proposal. He said the measure will help Texas avoid another devastating power outage like the one that killed hundreds and left millions without power during 2021's Winter Storm Uri.
