Since the deep freeze that brought down the Texas energy grid, causing millions of Texans to freeze in the dark, a variety of fixes have been proposed to ensure that such an event never happens again.
For example, Texas Rep. Dan Crenshaw, a Republican, has proposed measures to encourage the building of nuclear power plants. He proposes streamlining the permitting process for new nuclear power plants and allowing the government to cosign loans to finance their construction. He aims to encourage the development of advanced nuclear power technology as well.
