Water & Watts
Grid reliability. Water security. Texas-scale.
Energy and water policy: grid reliability and diversification (nuclear, geothermal, hydro), water reuse and storage, microgrids, and regional partnerships. The agencies we touch — PUCT, ERCOT, RRC, TWDB, TCEQ — and the megawatts and acre-feet behind the headlines.
The Prosperity Project
Permitting, incentives, the New Texas Economy.
Permitting reform, performance-based incentives, regulatory modernization, international trade, and the architecture of the New Texas Economy — the policy scaffolding that turns private capital into long-term household prosperity.
