"The U.S. has driven carbon emissions down to generational lows, even as U.S. energy production and energy demand have grown."

“‘Nuclear is a critical component to having a carbon reduction strategy,’ said Alice Caponiti, deputy assistant secretary for reactor fleet and advanced reactor deployment in the DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy. ‘Having this pipeline of advanced reactors is critical to future deployment,’ she told reporters on a press call.”

"‘If we succeed in this endeavor, we will see a strong and robust nuclear energy industry.'"

“Chinese President Xi Jinping on Saturday pledged to cut carbon emissions per unit of economic output by over 65% by 2030 and boost the share of nonfossil fuels in energy consumption to roughly 25% by then.”

"If the U.S. is serious about transitioning to a low-carbon economy, as it should be, then we must realize that doing so without a reliable supply chain of rare earth minerals is literally impossible.”

“President-elect Joe Biden has pledged to rejoin the Paris Agreement, which Trump rejected, and to meet and exceed the pace of emissions cuts envisioned by the Obama administration in order to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. That means the U.S. would stop adding any new emissions to the atmosphere.”

"This report is evidence that, instead, the U.S. should just keep doing what it is doing to cut its own emissions. The U.S. is the most successful major country at mitigating its own pollution, and the U.N. shows this.”

"Party leaders should continue efforts to support clean energy industries and implement policies that continue investing in tomorrow’s technologies today. The jobs and economic data don’t lie — the clean energy sector has been an economic engine that has allowed our nation to depend less on foreign oil, while also mitigating the impact of climate change in our communities.”
