Chris Barnard and Kai Weiss write in National Affairs about the exceptionalism of America. “The American economic model of limited government, private initiative, and free enterprise unleashed and helped sustain the dynamism and proactivity of its people. Even today, with rising economic competition across the globe, 45% of start-ups and 50% of unicorns (start-ups valued...
"Centrus’s American Centrifuge cascade uses gas centrifuge machines, which feed uranium hexafluoride (UF6)—heated to a gaseous state—into a rotor inside the centrifuge machine. A rotor spinning at high speed inside a steel casing uses centrifugal force to concentrate the heavier U-238 isotopes at the outer wall of the rotor and the lighter U-235 isotopes toward the rotor center. The streams are then fed to the next machines in a 'cascade' to achieve the desired level of enrichment. Centrus will use a 4.95% LEU feed material for its planned HALEU 16 AC100M-centrifuge cascade. It suggests roughly 85% of the separative work units (SWU)—a measure of enrichment needed to produce HALEU—is already contained in the LEU feed material."
"The Fund’s founding investor group included Microsoft’s Climate Innovation Fund which anchored the Fund, IMAS Foundation, Ireland Strategic Investment Fund, Harvard Management Company, the Imprint Group of Goldman Sachs as well as Hall Capital Partners and its clients."

In the past few months permitting reform has been top of mind for federal lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, and for good reason. The current permitting process under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) takes an average of 4.5 years to complete and requires millions of dollars to navigate. This hurts community development,...
With summer around the corner, consumers are in need of affordable and reliable energy. Leaders such as Rep. Debbie Lasko are leading the charge to reduce regulatory hurdles and drive energy and economic progress in the United States and abroad.
With support for this reliable, zero-carbon energy source growing, policymakers around the world must find ways to reduce barriers and deploy more nuclear power. Doing so will benefit the planet and its people.
Benjamin Storrow of E&E News talks about the permitting challenges that clean energy is facing. “The 146-mile transmission line, known as NECEC, is supplied by hydroelectric dams that have prompted concerns among environmentalists for their land-use impacts. But the project is a pillar of New England’s attempts to green its power supplies by reducing the...
