5 Reasons to Save the Railroad Commission Name.

• The Railroad Commission’s history as an authority in oil and gas dates to 1917 and grew to global authority in the 1930s
• The proposed Energy Commission is a misnomer too, as it will not regulate wind, solar or electric energy
• The proposed Texas Oil & Gas Commission is also a misnomer since the agency regulates hardrock minerals as well
• The name change will be costly
• The name Railroad Commission is unique, like Texas
