Phases and Stages Season 2: Innovation

Stories of our changing energy system, from the Texans living it right now 

Season 2 Coming Soon

Season 1 of the podcast was a travelogue. The goal was to hear from residents and businesses around the state about how the energy transition is affecting life in all corners of Texas.

Season 2 is all about innovation. We'll get in touch with energy innovators and highlight different technologies being developed in Texas that show promise for the future of energy production, distribution, and decarbonization. We'll hear from folks building a 40-mile sand conveyor belt in Kermit, we'll talk with the CEO of a company producing state of the art small modular nuclear reactors in Calhoun County, and we'll visit a lab producing sodium-ion batteries that could help reduce our reliance on lithium very soon.

The energy future is bright in Texas. Season two of Phases and Stages will fill you in on exactly what that looks like.
