Texas invests $350 million in nuclear energy initiatives and establishes state office to become global leader in advanced nuclear power. Texas is making a significant investment in its energy future, recently approving House Bill 14 which establishes a $350 million fund dedicated to nuclear energy initiatives and a corresponding state nuclear energy office. While the nuclear sector initially requested $2 billion, the legislative compromise settled on the $350 million figure as a pragmatic beginning—a sum that represents the largest single-state allocation for nuclear energy to date. Governor Greg Abbott has expressed his ambition for Texas to become a global leader in advanced nuclear power. The drive to expand nuclear energy is fueled by a surge in electricity demand. Texas is experiencing substantial population growth and the increasing adoption of energy-intensive technologies like artificial intelligence. ERCOT predicts a potential 70% increase in power demand within the next ten years. David Holt, President of the Consumer Energy Alliance, highlights nuclear energy's crucial role in meeting these demands, describing it as a reliable and clean power source essential for AI and general energy consumption. Addressing common misconceptions about nuclear power, Holt emphasizes that the industry has undergone a transformation. He notes that many people hold outdated perceptions based on concerns regarding reactor accidents or waste disposal. "This is not your father's nuclear energy industry anymore," Holt states. Modern nuclear plants generate minimal waste, offer scalable power generation capabilities, and represent a sophisticated technological advancement. The development of these advanced nuclear facilities could position Texas as a leader not only in nuclear technology but also in supporting emerging fields like artificial intelligence. Holt asserts that a robust energy supply, with nuclear power as a key component, is a prerequisite for an AI revolution.

Last Energy Plans 30 Microreactors in Haskell County, Texas, to Meet Growing Power Demands of Data Centers - Cozzy Energy Solutions Last Energy, a Washington D.C.-based startup, plans to build 30 microreactors in Haskell County, Texas, to meet the growing power demands of data centers across the state. The company has secured a 200-acre site about an hour north of Abilene and 3.5 hours west of Dallas, where it will develop the site to provide power to "off-takers" via a mix of private wire and grid transmission. The development comes as Texas faces pressure to ramp up its power supplies due to an expansion of energy-intensive industries. Last Energy's flagship technology is a 20-MWe single-loop pressurized water reactor with a continuous output of 300C, which can be deployed in six to 24 months using standard full-length PWR fuel and closed-cycle air cooling. The company's microreactors can be pre-fabricated in a factory and rapidly deployed on-site, significantly reducing construction time and costs. Last Energy has taken its full-scale nuclear reactor module prototype, known as the Nuclear Island, on a road trip across the U.S. to showcase its technology. To address Texas' urgent need for a stable, dispatchable, and long-term power solution, policymakers are exploring advanced nuclear technology as a viable pathway to sustaining economic and industrial growth. A report by the Texas Advanced Nuclear Reactor Working Group suggests that nuclear could offer the state a lucrative opportunity for energy security, grid reliability, and economic development. The group's report notes that ERCOT's streamlined interconnection model, projected demand growth, and independent market structure make Texas an attractive investment for capital. Additionally, Texas' leading supply chain and manufacturing capacity due to local heavy industry operations will drive down costs, making the state a preferred supplier for national and global advanced reactor projects.

John Mulaney's Stand-Up Set Roasting Tech Industry At AI Tech Conference Is Absolutely Brutal Well, what did they expect from him? 😂

He shared an anecdote about his and Munn's first child, a son, born in 2021, and how he enjoys playing ball with him in the yard.

“We’re just two guys hitting Wiffle balls badly and yelling ‘Good job’ at each other."

“It’s sort of the same energy here at Dreamforce.”
