Among the Obama administration's most
insidious climate policies is its estimate
of the social cost of carbon, which Nicolas Loris, senior policy analyst at The
Heritage Foundation, tells the Texas Alliance helps the government justify a
broad range of emission restrictions.

the New York state line, but production
from them does," he observed.
Similarly, he noted that Texas issued
4,500 drilling permits for its portion of
the Eagle Ford Shale in South Texas in
2013, while across the Rio Grande River,
only three were issued in Mexico.
"What separates Texas from other
states is a balanced, fair and consistent
regulatory environment," Porter maintained.
One example he cited was the RRC's
water recycling rules adopted in 2013,
which Porter said encouraged innovation
and entrepreneurship. Another example,
he continued, is the agency's streamlined
drilling permit process. Through various
software and hardware improvements to
its information technology program, Porter
said the commission had advanced to
processing only 9 percent of expedited
drilling permit applications in one-three
days in spring 2014 to 50 percent last
November.
"This process is an example of why,
over the past decade, when the rest of
the nation faced one of the worst economic
downturns in more than half a century,
our state's economy has been able to
thrive because of our energy industry,"
he proclaimed.
