NEW: Trump Plans to Protect Methane-Leaking Stripper Wells. This Billionaire Donor Will Benefit.

Oil tycoon Jeffery Hildebrand gave millions to Donald Trump’s 2024 election campaign. He is set to reap a financial windfall as the EPA moves to weaken restrictions on wells like his that produce very little energy but release vast amounts of methane.

Featured story: In response to the Observer’s public information request, Corpus Christi refused to release the latest records of the Bitcoin mine’s #water usage. The city is appealing our request for those records to the #Texas Office of the Attorney General. https://www.texasobserver.org/corpus-christi-cryptomine-water-usage-secret/

The city declined to supply public records on the mine’s water usage, citing a state law that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account.

“This is not a property rights bill. I’m not asking for [developers] to be able to come or not to come. What I am asking is to be able to regulate our national natural resources if they arrive here.” https://www.texasobserver.org/data-center-boom-rural-gop-local-control/

In rural areas like Caldwell County, local Republican officials and citizens are scrambling to find ways to empower counties and slow AI-fueled development.

“Especially here in #Texas, they would prefer not to raise the climate issue, because that just opens the door to Republican accusations that Democrats are bad for the oil and natural gas industry.” https://www.texasobserver.org/talarico-dems-gas-tax-holiday/

For candidates like Talarico, calling to suspend fuel taxes may be an easy way to sell “affordability” to swing voters. But it comes with its own long-term policy consequences.

New today: Populist “affordability” politics are in vogue for the out-of-power left as many average Americans face dire financial circumstances. Climate policy, which was all the rage for #Democrats just five or six years ago, has now been sidelined as a toxic turnoff. https://www.texasobserver.org/talarico-dems-gas-tax-holiday/

For candidates like Talarico, calling to suspend fuel taxes may be an easy way to sell “affordability” to swing voters. But it comes with its own long-term policy consequences.

New from Eden Shamy: “We’re increasingly seeing Democratic politicians fight fire with fire by engaging in populist rhetoric similar to that of Donald Trump, even if from a policy perspective it’s irresponsible.” https://www.texasobserver.org/talarico-dems-gas-tax-holiday/

From Candice Bernd: As Corpus Christi faces an ever-deepening #water crisis, in response to the Observer’s public information request, the city is refusing to release the latest 2026 records of a local cryptomine’s water usage. https://www.texasobserver.org/corpus-christi-cryptomine-water-usage-secret/

The city declined to supply public records on the mine’s water usage, citing a state law that allows nondisclosure of an individual customer’s account.
