The next big thing in power and energy just might be geothermal and Texas is well posiitioned to lead

Here's a snippet of the Energy Capital pod I recorded live with Jamie Beard of @innerspace2030 to talk about why Texas is at the center of the next clean energy boom.

The Texas Senate Business & Commerce will hear Senate Bill 819, which would "use the police power of the state" to restrict private property rights, slow economic growth, reduce energy supply, and raise Texans' power bills, on Thursday.

Inspired by the Austin Stand up for Science rally. Working alongside scientists at EDF has been one of the great privileges of my working life.

#ERCOT has been running at 85% clean today: 75% wind and solar and 10% nuclear. You would have been laughed out of the room if you predicted this 10 years ago. But the smallest interconnection in North America is cranking away at 75% variable resources. Beautiful sight.
