Overview
Mission
The Texas business for clean air foundation was established to educate the public and opinion leaders about our win-win vision: cleaning the air, meeting our energy needs, attracting cutting-edge technology industries and good jobs to Texas, and creating a healthier environment for Texas families.
What it reported doing in 2011
Texas business for clean air (tbca), by educating opinion leaders and promoting collaboration between the private and public sectors, helps Texas achieve measurably cleaner air while ensuring the economic vitality of Texas businesses and protecting the health of Texas workers and families. Tbca released a report prepared for it by rice university and houston advanced research center: "policy options for clean air and sustainable energy in Texas. This report is an excellent overview of the state of Texas' electric generation and the options for meeting future energy needs while reducing air pollution. It shows that sensible policies and technologies for energy efficiency and renewable energy can help clean the air while ensuring sufficient and affordable electricity supply in Texas for decades to come. Tbca has worked to ensure successful implementation of the Texas emissions reduction plan terp a program of financial incentives to take the oldest, dirtiest diesel trucks and equipment out of service and replace them with cleaner models. Tbca has communicated its core message that clean air is good for Texas business and good for Texas families by participating in several programs such as the clean air through energy efficiency conference in san antonio which featured a unique opportunity for participants to debate and shape policy proposals to advance clean, efficient energy technologies in Texas; Texas solar forum, the largest-ever gathering in Texas of solar industry representatives and advocates, to educate business and political leaders about the economic benefits that an aggressive investment in solar technology would bring to Texas; the clean air through energy efficiency conference in plano; and a debate and community discussion, "pickens plan vs. Gore challenge".
