A new set of five primers released by Life:Powered today explores the significant potential for nuclear energy expansion in Texas, a state that has benefitted from reliable electricity generation from nuclear for decades. Nuclear power stands out as the most energy-dense, reliable, and safest form of electricity production, currently providing nearly 20% of the nation’s electricity through 94 operational reactors.
As Texas faces the potential for startling electricity demand growth over the next decade, this research highlights the urgent need for innovative energy solutions. The findings underscore how nuclear energy can effectively meet new demand while addressing reliability concerns.
