TMRA Teacher Workshops bring fact-based science to Texas elementary- and middle-school teachers. Past attendees have praised the workshops and the value of their experience. One high school environmental studies teacher expressed that "teachers rarely get useful, positive opportunities like this one!" Another fifth grade science teacher confessed they "never enjoyed teaching earth science, but after attending the R&E workshop, suddenly the earth sciences came alive for me."

Spots fill up quickly for these sought after workshops, and applications for the 2023 TMRA Teacher Workshops have closed. However, consider planning to apply for summer 2024 to take advantage of this valuable opportunity. Click below to learn more!

Several power outages this winter have shed light on reliability issues within the U.S. grid system and have illustrated the need for dispatchable fuel diversity, for ensuring that electricity markets and the nation’s regulatory agenda recognize the ongoing importance of the coal fleet.
  
In his State of the Union address earlier this month, President Biden admitted that "we’re still going to need oil and gas for a while." What the country desperately needs is the same kind of pragmatism when it comes to the coal fleet.
  
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has announced the first-ever certification of a small modular reactor design, which is a big step in the process of developing a new generation of more flexible reactors.
