AUSTIN (KXAN) - Legislation that would have added several layers of regulation to new wind and solar power facilities - rules opposed by renewable energy producers and environmentalists - missed a key deadline Saturday and is unlikely to pass this year. Senate Bill 819, authored by Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham, would require new utility-scale wind and solar plants to undergo Public Utility Commission approval and public notice.
