Texas can continue to provide affordable and reliable energy by keeping its competitive electricity market framework. 

"Even as we implement policies that pave the way for a lower carbon energy future, we need to recognize reality and the inevitable outcomes of our actions. We can’t dismiss the essential role of natural gas and oil in our economy. We can’t ignore the laws of supply and demand. We can’t shrug off the dramatic impact that these policies have on households and businesses."

"Allowing climate activists and political leaders to shame natural gas is why European gas purchasers are reluctant to sign long-term contracts, the absence of which exposes them to price volatility. The best course of action is for the EU to host a forum like the one held in 2018 to restore cooperation on LNG and expand the supply and price stability experienced by nations with long-term contracts with U.S. LNG suppliers."

"The fact that we are still talking about the Texas grid a full after the storm indicates just how much of an impact the blackouts had on so many. It changed our awareness of things we once took for granted and has taken center stage in our politics. But, while we have made some progress, to say the grid is fixed would be premature, we are not yet done."

"Russian President Vladimir Putin will have to pay the price if he were to 'weaponize' gas supplies to Europe as Russia-Ukraine tensions rise, says energy expert Dan Yergin."

"France already relies on nuclear power to generate more than 70% of its electricity. But the average age of its fleet of reactors is 37 years old, putting pressure on authorities to bring a new generation on to the market in the coming years."

"Rather than relying on more centralized planning, we should expand the market for electricity conservation. Providing tools and incentives for individuals to reduce electricity use during periods of high demand is the best and most efficient tool we have to avoid future catastrophic blackouts."
