dc.description.abstract | The 2021 Texas Winter Storm Uri was a watershed moment for many Texans regarding energy security. The statewide incident exacerbated an increasing tension between climate-centric sustainability goals and power demands anchored to energy security. While environmental activists saw decarbonization as even more critical, traditional energy advocates saw the need for hydrocarbons and pointed out liabilities created by unpredictable wind and solar. Despite these views, through innovative collaboration, it may be possible to generate a scenario that benefits the Texas economy and delivers on the goals for all advocates. | |
