Understanding Texas SB 6 Changes for Large Power Consumers A recent Texas law, SB 6, set to take effect in 2025, significantly updates the regulatory framework for large power consumers, particularly those using Behind-the-Meter or Front-of-Meter configurations, by increasing transparency, predictability, and financial accountability through stricter approval processes and reduced authority for the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT). The law requires detailed system studies, financial viability assessments, and disclosures about similar projects and backup generation capabilities, while also imposing new requirements on developers to ensure compliance with Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) rules and statutory thresholds.

Ik vind "Nieuws van de Dag" op #SB6 juist een verademing, vergeleken met al die andere nieuwsshows. Wel vaak dezelfde gasten, dat is mijn enige kritiekpunt. Verder: vooral doorgaan! 😉

the dude representing data centers would like us to believe they hold national secrets, HIPAA protected personal information, social media files and Chat GPT algorithms all in the same place. #txlege #SB6

Thank you Chair Jesse Arreguin and members of the Public Safety Committee for your leadership in protecting Californians.

And thank you to our sponsor San Diego Mayor Todd Gloria for your dedication to big cities across the Golden State.

How many of these Senate members were once part of the DOJ's #SB6 investigation?

We may have lost an entire generation of brilliant minds

This is the business that the criminal Ohio GOP has decided to take up. Meanwhile we are ALL still paying for the fallout of the largest bribery scandal in state history, #SB6.
The same week Jim Tressel was made Lt. Gov. The man who applied the same gentrification he saw in Columbus to Youngstown

According to @loiskolkhorst, #SB6 is not about discrimination, yet she rejected every single amendment to protect Trans, GNC and IS people.

Hearing for #SB6 in a nutshell. This sets a dangerous precedent, now its up to the Texas House.…

Kudos to @SenatorSylvia and @JoseforTexas for standing up for trans Texans today and arguing against #SB6.

But #sb6 will do exactly what Rs say they oppose! Trans men/boys will be compelled to use women's facilities.

"This bill violates the Equal Protection Clause. I'm not saying that; federal courts are saying that." Yes @JoseforTexas! #sb6

Shorter #sb6 debate: "Making inclusive policies is hard, so we're just gonna ban you from doing it."

"Senate Bill 6 empowers discrimination." #sb6

Trump's travel ban thinks the idea that #SB6 isn't specifically targeted at trans people is laughably absurd.

"Trans people, #sb6 isn't about you!" say Tx Sens as debate bill specifically aimed at those w/inconsistent appearance & gender marker

Um, yes, trans people have "struggled" with restroom issue. IT'S ALSO NEVER BEEN ILLEGAL. a slight difference. #SB6

The deer-in-the-headlights look on Kolkhorst's face when Hinojosa asked "How do you tell if someone's a man or woman?" was priceless. #SB6

As Sen Kolkhorst explains it, #SB6 essentially allows ONE PERSON to veto a school district's trans-friendly policy.

Literally just said #SB6 creates "crime-free zones." War on Drugs chuckles softly.

Senators explicitly state #SB6 response to the Title IX "Dear Colleague" letter, since rescinded. Literally beating a dead horse.

Okay, Senator Kolkhorst, what is a "true" transgender female? Am I one? Do we have to sign up and get approved? #SB6

Does... Does Kolkhorst actually think girls will simply take testosterone for sports advantage? Hello irreversible deep voice & beard! #SB6

Kolkhorst seems to think that "identifying" as one gender or the other is something that, you know, just happens! #SB6

Kolkhorst's only response to @SenatorSylvia 's incisive questioning is to claim that her "hearing is bad" and change subject. SMH. #SB6

"Do you REALLY think someone is going to put on a wig to pretend to be a woman" to commit crime? Brava, @SenatorSylvia. #SB6
