Texas Takes the Lead: School Choice, Energy Reform and Tax Relief


Listen Later

In this episode of Energy Newsbeat – Conversations in Energy, Stuart Turley is joined by Kristi Antonick from Americans for Prosperity to discuss Texas’s major policy wins—from the passing of SB2 on school choice to the fight for property tax reform. Kristi shares grassroots success stories, like rallying over 1,000 citizens to the state capitol, and highlights the role of community voices in shaping legislation. They dive into the impact of education freedom, rising energy demands from AI and data centers, and the urgent need for grid capacity—making a compelling case for nuclear innovation and local engagement in shaping Texas’s prosperous future.


Our interview with General Flynn gets released on Tuesday, and he brought up some critical points that Kristi and the Americans for Prosperity have been talking about. That is, we ALL have to get involved at the local level. Get involved by volunteering to count votes, attending school board meetings, and participating in local government.


We have let the left control all aspects of our lives for too long.


Thank you, Kristi, and we really appreciate all the great things that you are doing over at Americans for Prosperity! - Stu
