RT by @douglewinenergy: Choosing an electricity plan in the "deregulated" parts of Texas, like Houston, can be very confusing. Here's an updated guide to picking one. (One day, X will show the updated headline too.)
Most of all, "if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is."https://www.houstonchronicle.com/business/energy/article/choosing-texas-electric-plan-18575120.php

R to @douglewinenergy: 🌊 "We have literally oceans of brine... so why not turn it into water?"
Gov. Perry suggests an ambitious idea: combine Elon Musk’s Boring Company, small modular reactors (SMRs), and desalination to solve Texas's water challenges.

R to @douglewinenergy: 🌎 “Export the technology, and you make friends.”
Perry on nuclear’s global potential: Texas doesn’t just solve its own energy needs—it can export expertise & power stability worldwide.
Big moves for Texas, big impact globally:

R to @douglewinenergy: đź’ˇ Perry calls for a modern-day Manhattan Project to develop small modular reactors in Texas:
“It makes abundant sense—economically feasible, clean, emission-free power.”
🔥 A national lab in Texas could lead the way.

R to @douglewinenergy: 🔌 Texas + nuclear = big opportunity.
Perry: “Texas can be and will be a real leader in nuclear power.” With new tech emerging, nuclear could power data centers and the grid.
Do you see nuclear playing a big role here?

R to @douglewinenergy: 🌾 “I grew up on a dryland cotton farm. You take care of the land, or you go broke.”
Texas became a renewable energy leader under Perry—while still embracing oil & gas. He shares his “all of the above” perspective:

đź’ˇ Thoughts on striking the right balance:
🚨 “What’s the role of government? How do we balance market forces and innovation with incentives?”
Had a great conversation with Gov. Rick Perry, and his answers might surprise you. From Texas’s energy mix to nuclear innovation, we covered a lot.

The PUC is meeting now. I'll leave some thoughts here, particularly as they discuss the capacity market structure known as the PCM.

On Saturday, batteries set a new record in ERCOT, supplying 9% of power on an evening w/ high thermal outages & low wind. Prices spiked to near the max for 5 minutes, 4,300 megawatts of storage surged onto the grid (and demand went down ~2,000 MW) & things went back to normal.
