Reckless agency layoffs and the dismantling of federal relief programs could leave the Lone Star State in peril.
President Donald Trump’s commitment to “energy dominance” would seem to be good news for the Texas economy. But in the administration’s reversal of environmental policies—including via the chaos of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) trashing federal agencies—it is easy to overlook changes that are of particular importance for the state.
Federal resources for managing climate-augmented weather disasters are being wiped out, and crucial information about future risks is being destroyed or degraded. Meanwhile, state leaders stand by while denying the seriousness of climate change as a driver of these events—and the threat this poses to the state economy.
