Highlights from Texas Governor Greg Abbott, Dow Chair and CEO Jim Fitterling, and X-energy CEO J. Clay Sell’s fireside chat about the future of advanced nuclear technology in Texas on August 16, 2023. The event took place at the Gary L. Thomas Energy Engineering Building.
Welcome to UT Austin. We've got a great partnership right now with X energy, ourselves DOE, and now the state and the county working on everybody playing a role in how to de-risk this and get it up as quickly as possible. I think it's a real recipe for the future of small modular reactors, and I think small modular reactors are a huge part of the future of nuclear energy going forward. It is with tremendous pride that we bring this innovative technology to a short drive from the energy capital of the world, to the state of Texas. I do believe the technology that we will demonstrate here will be the first of many, many hundreds of plants that are built not just in Texas, but around the United States, around the world. What is happening here in Texas really will change the world. This is the type of scenario where we can have the universities like this and our other outstanding universities in the state of Texas work in collaboration with these two incredible private sector leaders. And this is, you know, one thing Texas stands for. Texas is the leading innovation state in the United States because we've got innovators endowed, what they're doing, innovators in ex-energy and what they're doing. And then we put wind at their back, whether it be the state or the university, whatever the case may be. So, this is a perfect example of how Texas brings all these folks together.
