TEPRI recently released their 2024 Community Voices in #Energy Survey drawing from the experiences of 6,520 Texans statewide. A few cogent insights from the report: 💡 Energy #affordability, or lack thereof, remains a key concern & challenge. 💡 Interest in clean energy options from electricity providers is significant (71%), but only a small fraction of respondents are actually in clean energy programs (10%). 💡 People are willing to pay more on their #electricity bills to use clean energy. 💡 Texans statewide are willing to adjust their behavior to prevent a blackout if they are #compensated. (And they should be!) Great work to the folks at TEPRI for championing the lived experiences of Texans and working to make energy reliable, affordable and clean.

Workforce development will increasingly be at the forefront of the energy transition conversation. "But there’s a problem. The laws are not strategic nor proactive about ensuring that enough workers will be available and prepared to carry out the projects the legislation envisions. Without sufficient workers, projects will experience cost overruns, quality control problems, and delays."
