The Texas Energy Reference Design: Stress-Testing Load Growth Challenges for an AI Century

Texas has long stood apart from national energy policy—its own grid, its own rules. In 2026, that independence has made it the top destination for AI-driven electricity demand. While Washington grapples with the pressures of building data centers, ensuring reliability, and controlling costs, Texas is tackling everything at once. The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) market is solving for speed-to-power by surmounting transmission bottlenecks, phantom load growth, buying down residential rate increases, and more.

America Needs to Fix Nuclear Economics, Not Just Go Smaller

When President Trump stood before Congress in February 2026, he delivered a stark message to America’s technology leaders: “You have an obligation to provide for your own power needs.” His call to action on behind-the-meter nuclear power for data centers wasn’t mere rhetoric. It was a recognition that the energy demands of artificial intelligence and modern computing require a fundamental shift in how we power our economy.

America’s Grid Is More Fragile Than Politicians Admit. Here’s How to Fix It.

America has an infrastructure problem hiding in plain sight. Too often, when a storm rolls through, millions of homes dark. Politicians hold press conferences, utility companies apologize, and nothing fundamentally changes. The U.S. power grid is not a modern system under routine stress. It is an aging, fragile patchwork operating well past its design life, and the consequences are landing squarely on ordinary Americans and the natural environment around them.

Home Batteries and the Conservative Case for Energy Independence

You wouldn't know it from the political debate, but the fastest-growing corner of the American energy market is also one of the most naturally conservative ideas in it: owning your own power. Home battery storage—the ability to store and manage the electricity that runs your household—is attracting growing investment, and greater attention from conservatives could be beneficial, particularly as the midterm elections approach.
