While reducing emissions is a laudable goal, the EPA should reject CARB’s waiver request and work with the industry on a more realistic approach to bring low-emissions technology to freight rail.
As states increasingly look to advanced nuclear, Wyoming, Virginia and Michigan lead the way
"The Virginia Department of Energy’s Davis pointed to the recently announced Microsoft-Google-Nucor 24/7 clean electricity RFI as an opportunity for advanced nuclear power in southwestern Virginia, where a state-funded feasibility study last year identified seven promising SMR sites on or near decommissioned mine lands and the state-supported Energy DELTA Lab will 'deploy innovative and clean energy technologies,' including nuclear, that could support hyperscale data center and low-carbon hydrogen production clusters."

"The Department must take steps to better align with industry to advance its technology demonstration mission while protecting U.S. intellectual property from foreign adversaries. One way it can do this is to prioritize the permitting process for DOE-awarded projects. Absent a commitment from DOE to expedite permitting, many of these projects will encounter avoidable delays, jeopardizing potential investment and ultimately succumbing to the 'Valley of Death.' While projects will potentially require permits from a dozen agencies, the DOE will be on the receiving end of Congressional scrutiny should they miss key milestones."
