Sitting down with Michael Williams

Tuesday, July 8th, 2008

Talking with Texas Railroad Commissioner Michael Williams at the Hertiage Foundation Bloggers meeting.Just found out there is more miles of pipeline than highway, who knew.One of there new major focuses is the competitiveness council: how do they keep Texas competitive in terms of job growth into the future.  One of the most important answers is energy.  Their purpose is to move towards a private/public partnership that can create zero emission power at lower costs.One of the creative things they’re able to do is use CO2 more effectively then any other nation in the world.  As Commissioner Williams put it “CO2 makes old wells come alive,” creating new returns from old production facilities.We also talked wind power, TX creating more win power then any other state in the nation.  The question becomes how do we capture that energy rather then distribute it immediately.
