ENERGY INDUSTRY VETERANS FORM POLICY INSTITUTE BASED AT UT-DALLAS....

Three Texas energy insiders have formed a new policy institute designed to offer independent advice based on the state’s electricity experiments.

Monty Humble, a lobbyist who pushed T. Boone Pickens’ energy plan in Washington, and Mark Armentrout, former chairman of ERCOT, will lead the Center for Energy Policy and Markets.

The center is part of the Texas Institute, a young research institute created by Jonathan Shapiro to bring together experts from North Texas universities to work on energy problems.

The policy group, located at the University of Texas at Dallas, will seek to educate lawmakers and the public about energy.
