I sat back down with @MichaelEWebber on the @txenergyandpowr podcast to talk about all things Texas energy, including AI, transmission, politics, and what current events in the Middle East mean for Texas and the rest of the world.
In his latest Op-Ed for the @HoustonChron, @MichaelEWebber argues that smart data center regulations can lead to cheaper electricity and lower taxes. Read more: houstonchronicle.com/opinion…

With reactors, research universities and energy expertise, Texas has the foundations for a nuclear boom — but it must develop the skilled workforce to build it. Check out @MichaelEWebber newest column in the @HoustonChron houstonchronicle.com/opinion… via @houstonchron
Is the AI revolution worth the price communities are paying? @MichaelEWebber explores the impact of data centers on this episode of Horizons on @NewsHour youtu.be/fkB8mt1DEVw?si=WB0y…

HOT OFF THE PRESSES! Load growth in ERCOT.
"Of the five drivers studied: adoption of electric vehicles and large-load demand centers contribute most to the cost of grid expansion and operation in Texas, the electric vehicle driver has the greatest impact on peak demand while the large load driver has the greatest impact on total electricity consumption, the adoption of electric heat reduces summer electricity demand, and a rapid increase in large load demand is met most economically by natural gas, wind, and solar deployment."

Check out the latest episode of the @txenergyandpowr podcast where I talk with Josephus Allmond, the Chief Energy Officer for the Commonwealth of Virginia, on how PJM and ERCOT are both seeing demand growth from data centers but are approaching it differently.
Often operating sight unseen, turbomachinery keeps modern industries moving. As society enters another energy transition, new advances are on the horizon. @MichaelEWebber explores The New Dawn of Turbomachinery in a new feature for Mechanical Engineering magazine.asme.org/issues/jun…

You might enjoy my latest column for the @HoustonChron about Texas' water crisis and what we can do about it.
In brief, things are dire. But, we have pathways to pursue. And big water users like AI data centers and the oil & gas industry are part of the problem and solution.
