Meter Reading: ERCOT Using Cat Videos to Keep the Lights On, Industry Has Same Negative Image as Government, and More

Americans Rate Oil and Gas Worst – “Americans continue to give the computer industry the most positive ratings out of 25 business and industry sectors tested, with the restaurant industry in second place. The oil and gas industry and the federal government have the least positive images, as they did last year.” — Gallup

Obama’s Federal Land Grab – “Enviros used to oppose any use of America’s federal lands. Now they want it to be the source of “renewable energy.” Welcome to America’s two economies.” — American Spectator

ERCOT’s strategy to keep the lights on involves cat videos – “There’s not enough time to build new power plants to help with hot days this summer or next. So it’s up to consumers to conserve. And maybe cat videos and leggy women wearing ceiling fan hats will convince us.” — Dallas Morning News
