Press Release

Orbach said the energy resource issues to be addressed initially would include:

1. Fossil fuel production and use operating in a carbon-constrained environment. The lack of economical technology, combined with an absence of a legal and policy framework, could put Texas' energy resources at risk.
2. New concepts and technologies in wind and solar energy for the development of electrical energy storage for these resources.
3. Recycling spent fuel from carbon-free nuclear energy. The university has the opportunity to recreate a robust radio-chemistry program to extract the energy contained in spent fuel and to substantially reduce its toxicity and heat load for subsequent storage.
