Good morning! On this day in 1838, the deadliest Indian attack in East Texas history took place in what became known as the Killough Massacre.

And after that light-hearted history piece, let's get to some good news about a historic train chugging its way through Texas right now.

We're paying the bills today with Trevi, offering an investment opportunity in this revolutionary new technology.

Blue Alert Issued for Man Who Shot Police Chief

Many Texas residents woke to a Blue Alert Friday morning as authorities searched for Seth Altman, accused of shooting and wounding Rex Plant, the Memphis, Texas, police chief.

Plant and another officer were attempting to serve an arrest warrant to Altman when Altman shot the police chief in his escape.

Altman is reportedly “armed and dangerous” and was last seen on foot heading towards Highway 287. Plant was taken to a local hospital to treat his injuries.

Texas Interconnection to Connect to Southeast

The U.S. Department of Energy has approved a $360 million project to connect a Texas power grid, known as the Texas Interconnection, to the broader U.S. power grid via a 320-mile line.

The power line, dubbed “Southern Spirit,” will run across Texas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, connecting the now-isolated ERCOT grid to the southeastern U.S. and providing more stability in the event of natural disasters, such as Winter Storm Uri in 2021 that caused debilitating outages.

The project will also add around 9,000 new jobs.

World’s Largest Locomotive in Houston

Big Boy, the world’s largest steam locomotive, arrived in Houston yesterday and will stay for the weekend as part of its Heartland of America Tour.

Of the 25 Union Pacific “Big Boys” built in World War II, No. 4014 is one of eight surviving and the only one still in operation.

The train will be on display for three days, make several whistle stops, and exit the state on October 13.

Tap Into a $500B+ Glass of Water

Water purification is finally moving in the right direction: forward.

The old way of purifying water uses an energy-intensive process called reverse osmosis. Trevi pulls it out of the past with their patented forward osmosis system.

Capable of purifying the dirtiest water using only renewable energy, Trevi’s rewritten the equation for desalination. In fact, their tech needs a third of the electric energy as reverse osmosis. Even better, it can extract precious minerals like lithium. That means there are three enormous industries waiting:

Seawater desalination market estimated at $26.7B by 2028
Wastewater treatment market will be worth $193B by 2031
Mineral recovery market projected at $434B by 2028

Trevi’s already proving their technology’s worth with commercial deals to supply water for agriculture in Oman and Kuwait. Now, they’re opening an investment round as the company looks to scale from a $19M revenue pace this year to $258M by 2028.

Become a Trevi shareholder and seize your piece of the future of clean water.
