San Antonio's mayor sat on a crucial report while the urgency of the city's climate planning increased. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Texas ClimateChange ClimateCrisis Environment Utilities TexasHeat
In the buildup to the climate vote, Melnick often warned of forecasts showing that San Antonio would see 90 more days annually over 100 degrees by 2100. Last monthSince the deadly grid collapse during 2021's Winter Storm Uri, a growing gap of the population can't keep up with their escalating bills, driven largely by spiking natural gas costs.
It's unclear when exactly the paper was passed from the mayor's office to former city councilman Reed Williams, who Nirenberg tapped to lead the utility's Rate Advisory Committee . But it was sometime in May, Williams said. Williams passed it along to some RAC members, including, apparently, investment advisor Dana McGinnis, who shipped it off by email on Wednesday, June 22, with a lengthy complaint.
Given the nature of the document, Steen was uncharacteristically mild, and the conversation was brief. When the CPS board advanced in May a modest STEP program of $70 million per year to reduce energy use by 1% annually, they did so without the benefit of Rocky Mountain Institute's analysis. In February, a small breakthrough at CPS Energy's Board of Trustees was achieved when board members acknowledged for the first time that they were and directed the RAC to prepare a recommendation for closing the utility's JK Spruce coal plant by 2030. However, debate within the RAC has largely been limited to a proposal to close one coal unit while converting the other to run on gas.
Like Romero, Garza and Nirenberg, Williams sought to shift attention away from the document. Most of those culpable for the Resource Plan's issues have left the utility already anyway, Williams said. What matters, he said, is the RAC's work modeling a way off of coal power.
