CouldBeTrue of South Texas Chisme notes that the batsh*t crazies on the Texas State Board of Education textbook review board are still pushing creationism in and science out.
Texas is home to two of the top five dirtiest power generation facilities in the United States, and a new report suggests that they are "the elephant in the room" when it comes to climate change.
