Texas Senate candidate James Talarico praised Third Act Texas in June 2024 video

Texas Senate candidate James Talarico praised climate protest group Third Act Texas in a June 2024 video as it pushed banks to cut ties with the fossil fuel sector and opposed new LNG export projects in Texas. He later said he supports LNG production and has backed related legislation, even as the group has called for a shift to “100% renewable resources as soon as possible.” His public endorsement has fueled questions about how consistent his energy stance is. The episode does not amount to immediate regulatory action, but it adds to expectations of political and financing risk for oil and gas assets in a major producing state.
