Texas is ratcheting up restrictions on neighboring Louisiana, one of the growing hot spots for coronavirus in the U.S. Just two days after Texas began requiring airline passengers from New Orleans to comply with a two-week quarantine, Texas Gov.

The two main advantages of the STEP technology involve a 10% increase in energy efficiency and a smaller footprint. Conventional turbines are the size of a bus and use water, a scarce resource during times of drought in certain parts of the world. CO2 can be extracted with direct air carbon capture, using the same power source that transforms it into sCO2.
Texas has pursued an approach toward energy production that is based more on practical considerations than ideology. The state has invested heavily in renewables. But projects such as the STEP project also suggest that Texas is keen to continue exploiting its abundant fossil fuel resources with a due consideration for reducing the emission of greenhouse gasses that may contribute to climate change.
