Rick Perry says Biden can't fix Texas power crisis with more regulations
Fox News
Former Energy Secretary Rick Perry said Friday that more regulation isn’t the answer to Texas’ power crisis that left millions of residents without electricity or heat this week due to a brutal winter storm.
Biden said Friday he plans to travel to the Lone Star State but the date was unclear. Perry -- who succeeded George W. Bush as a Republican governor of Texas prior to serving in Trump's Cabinet -- said the federal government needs to be a "partner in innovating our way to better energy solutions rather than regulating it." And although he says he’s willing to talk about Texas, which has its own power grid, joining the national one, "my experience with the federal government has been [that] the first thing they do is regulate."More Related News
