Texas says no to renewables

[elektra]

Texas, looks like the future is not renewables. Renewables are dependent on the oil industry. It is possible as long as the federal government gives away trillions to renewables the Texas oil companies will build renewables.

Yet, Texas knows they need electricity so they are moving forward with hydrogen

New Gas-Fired Power Plants Proposed in Southeast Texas

Entergy Texas filed an application with the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) for approval to build two natural gas power plants—one in Jefferson

Meanwhile, the Lone Star Power Station will be sited in Liberty County near Cleveland, Texas, which is part of the Greater Houston metropolitan area. Lone Star is planned to be a 453-MW hydrogen-capable combustion turbine facility. Its price tag is expected to be about $753 million. The Legend and Lone Star plants are both expected to enter service by 2028 and will bring a total of $2.8 billion in economic benefits to the region, according to Entergy.

Maybe they'll build a dozen or so oil refineries next!

Why is NOBODY building NUCLEAR......"NUCULAR" if you are the left.

Well that's retarded

If you are ignorant, it would seem that way. I would not use the word retarded, though. Those are Down Syndrome sufferers. I kind of like them.

Renewables are a very expensive failure.

The entire world is going nuclear. Last year and this year in the USA, nuclear energy is the largest source of new power.

If you need power, renewables are available but so is other stuff. Texas is growing and they need energy. They have windmills and solar farms. They are going to use whatever to get to where they think they need to be. So its is not no to renewable it just whatever is available then they will use.

One of our board members just moved to Texas. He mentioned how wonderful the Texas folks are that he encounters. Sounds like minimum g'ment interference & maximum Liberties/individual rights. Now I read in the link provided here that Texas has two counties, one named LIBERTY & the other county named JEFFERSON. Wow, if that does not back up everything he mentioned about individual Liberties & quality Americans then what does???

Thank you.

I will do more research.

Small nuclear reactors may be coming to Texas, boosted by interest from Gov. Abbott

A nuclear power plant hasn’t been built in Texas in decades because of cost and public fears of a major accident. Now the governor wants to find out if smaller reactors could meet the state’s growing need for on-demand power.

That would be wonderful.

Let's hope so.

Nuclear power in the USA has kind of increased. We produce the same amount of electricity with 94 nuclear plants as we did with 104

Uh, there is no solar tonight in Texas and the hurricane shutdown the wind energy.

Texas has all the energy they need, it is called oil.

Modular nuke reactors are the way to go.....Given the energy usage of the data mining centers popping up everywhere something has got to give and windmills/solar aren't going to cut it.

Modular Nukes are part of the future. Solar and wind are regression.

I kind of like them too but I wouldn't put them in charge of energy policy as texass seems to have done.

What is wrong with the energy policy of Texas?

Yes, wind and solar are regressive, other than that Texas is moving forward

So not much of a news watcher I take it? Their grid fails for at least a short time every single summer and their power plants freeze every time we get these "100 year" cold snaps that seems to come every couple of years these days.

People die every time too.

There is no such thing as "renewable" energy, unless we have some alien tech that won't ever see the light of day.

Yep, renewables cause death.
