Governor Abbott Touts Texas’ Robust Energy Industry At Dallas Citizens Council
December 12, 2024
Governor Greg Abbott today touted Texas’ robust energy sector during a fireside chat at the Dallas Citizens Council 2024 Annual Meeting in Dallas.
"Texas is the fourth-largest producer of oil in the entire world,” said Governor Abbott. "This is owed to the hard work and determination of the men and women of the energy industry. Here in Texas, we believe in an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy approach. That is why we’re also No. 1 for wind power generation and No. 1 for utility-scale solar capacity. We will increase capacity of our grid to ensure that every Texan has affordable, reliable power and unleash the full potential of Texas' nuclear industry. And we will produce enough energy power on the grid to make sure that every home, every business, and every location is going to have access to the power they need.”
