"With renewed focus on grid reliability, geothermal energy can play a vital role in the ERCOT grid of the future because of its firm, dispatchable, low carbon and weatherproof characteristics. Our goal now is to work with the Legislature this session to position Texas as the leader in geothermal energy development."
"One last thing to point out: If you compare the emissions of the two shoes on a part-by-part basis, the analysis suggests that the emissions for 3D printing are actually 10 percent to 17 percent higher. 'Only when a complete assembly of the shoe is taken into account does the overall carbon efficiency of 3D printing stand out,' according to the analysis."
"The Fusion Industry Association, based in Washington, D.C., has tracked more than $5 billion in private funding, with seven firms raising at least $200 million. Around 75% of fusion fundraising has happened since 2021, according to PitchBook."

"Nuclear power has to be competitive with other sources of electricity based on the cost per kilowatt hour, especially in deregulated electricity markets. In regulated markets, customers pay whatever rates are approved by the public utility commission. Nuclear power benefits from its ability to deliver near full power 24/7, contributing to the stability of the electrical grid."
"Secondarily, we should not be closing doors on alternative energy storage solutions. Lithium batteries are a major part of moving sustainable energy forward, but they are not the only way to get there. Investors and policymakers should look seriously at new players and emerging technologies, and do as much as possible to foster new talent and startups in this area."
