THE HOUSTON CHRONICLE

About 500 protesters from across the country descended on the first day of Houston's CERAWeek energy conference Monday to protest the oil executives and federal leaders gathering for high-level talks downtown.

The annual protest has grown substantially in the past two years, as has the official response by police. This year, the march was corralled by more than 50 police officers, nearly half of them on horseback.

Regarding “Houston Chronicle: John Cornyn: Houston needs the Coastal Texas Project,” (Dec. 05): Senator John Cornyn is pushing lawmakers to fund the $34 billion Coastal Texas Project, commonly known as the Ike Dike, to “build a coastal storm barrier to protect at-risk petrochemical infrastructure and the Texas Gulf Coast.” But it's this same industry that makes disasters like storms and hurricanes worse. Instead of requiring the petrochemical industry to pay to protect their own plants — and protect the people who have lived here long before industry moved in — Sen. Cornyn offers up our tax dollars.
