Gov. Greg Abbott signaled strong support for a reemerging nuclear power industry Monday, publishing a report that proposes creating a state-backed loan program to develop nuclear power plants. A report commissioned by Abbott’s office proposed a Texas Nuclear Power Fund in a task force report that called on the Texas Legislature to pass a slate of bills supporting nuclear power,

Greg Abbott released a comprehensive plan to make Texas the nation's leader in "advanced nuclear power." It comes after a year-long study looking at how nuclear technology could help keep our lights on and potentially create thousands of new jobs in Central Texas.

Texas public schools could use teachings from the Bible in lessons as an option for students from kindergarten through fifth grade under a proposal that drew hours of testimony Monday and follows Republican-led efforts in other states to incorporate more religious teaching into classrooms.

Kindergartens would learn about Jesus and his Sermon on the Mount while fifth-grade include the Gospel of Matthew.
