“Texas is the energy capital of the world. We have more energy production capacity — both oil and gas, but also renewable — than any other state in the country. It seems fairly basic to me that with all of those resources, we should have reliable and affordable energy,” said Warford.

Warford discussed his ongoing campaign for statewide office, his views on energy policy, how he differs from congressional Democrats who have pushed the Green New Deal, and more.
