Republican Rancher: Renewables Can Save Rural Texas

It is a rare event in Texas these days: finding a Republican who supports renewables. Y’all-itics did just that. And John Davis tells us the money he makes from the wind turbines on his property saved his west Texas ranch, which has been in the family since 1880. But if you really want to get this Republican worked up, talk about the GOP’s attack on renewables. To Davis, it is a property rights issue, and he says his own party is trampling all over it. The rancher and former state lawmaker also tells the Jasons why he thinks energy has become so political in Texas… and the beer his 89-year-old aunt recommended for his Y’all-itics debut!
