There are currently 700 employees at the Next Decade Rio Grande LNG construction site, that number will balloon to 5,000 next year. 35% of the of the workforce will be local hires (1,750) while the other 65% (3,250) will be from out of town - where are all these workers going to post up for the next 5 years? In the Brownsville metro area. And what about the tourists coming from all over the world to visit SpaceX/Starbase going to stay at as well? Most will stay in the Brownsville metro area as well. We need more hotels. Interim Port director said more big projects are coming but they can’t say much because of signed NDAs.

In every corner of the country and the world, people are suffering the devastating toll of climate change. Historic hurricanes and floods wiping out homes, businesses, and houses of worship. Wildfires destroying whole neighborhoods and forcing families to leave their communities behind. Record temperatures affecting the lives and livelihoods of millions of Americans, especially the most vulnerable. From Day One, my Administration has set the United States on an unprecedented course to tackle the climate crisis at home and abroad – securing the largest climate investment in the history of the world, unlocking clean energy breakthroughs that will power a clean economy and create thousands of jobs, advancing environmental justice for all, and rallying world leaders to transition away from the fossil fuels that jeopardize our planet and our people. But more action is needed. My Administration is announcing today a temporary pause on pending decisions of Liquefied Natural Gas exports – with the exception of unanticipated and immediate national security emergencies. During this period, we will take a hard look at the impacts of LNG exports on energy costs, America’s energy security, and our environment. This pause on new LNG approvals sees the climate crisis for what it is: the existential threat of our time. While MAGA Republicans willfully deny the urgency of the climate crisis, condemning the American people to a dangerous future, my Administration will not be complacent. We will not cede to special interests. We will heed the calls of young people and frontline communities who are using their voices to demand action from those with the power to act. And as America has always done, we will turn crisis into opportunity – creating clean energy jobs, improving quality of life, and building a more hopeful future for our children. ###

Unacceptable. Hopefully the Supreme Court has something to say about this.

Good thing your opinion is moot to the justices. Other than Minion and Miles, these Hidalgo county peeps rarely post something positive about Cameron County, but they’re “quick draw McGraw” whenever something negative comes out. The Biden administration wants to make Texas/Abbott pay for this whole immigration debacle.
