TX Rail Commissioner; Millenials Don't Want Oil Patch Jobs Because Of Green "Brainwashing"

“The biggest threat to our boom that we see ahead of us ... is the misunderstanding of the oil and gas industry and the acceptance of the politically-correct-driven environmental anti-oil and gas science,” he said. “Because of that misunderstanding of the oil and gas business and what it has provided mankind ... many people don’t want to go into the oil and gas industry ... especially students.”

He cited a survey that found that a significant portion of millennials wouldn’t want to work in the industry. The vast majority of the world’s scientists believe that the production and burning of fossil fuels has damaged the environment and is a primary driver of climate change.

The only mention of climate change during the four-hour hearing on Wednesday came when state Rep. Jason Isaac cited a multiple choice question that had appeared on his son’s standardized exam. It asked which energy source was known to cause climate change.
“It infuriated me,” said the Dripping Springs Republican, explaining that it had prompted him to work with a nonprofit that advocates for the teaching of an “unbiased view of energy” in public schools.

“We’re teaching our kids negative things — we’re pre-biasing them,” he said. “No wonder the pool is small.”
