Nuclear Power? Have No Fear—Our Clean Energy Future Is Radioactive.

Nuclear Power? Have No Fear—Our Clean Energy Future Is Radioactive.

"There’s no low-carbon transition where power stays reliable and affordable without nuclear. Once they’re built, these plants are cheap: the fuel is cheaper than gas and coal, you’ve got some maintenance (which, by the way, you’ve also got on wind and solar), and a plant can operate for 80 years. And again, it's all based on mature technology that’s already powering our homes and businesses. The possibilities for fusion—the process of combining atoms to create energy that saw a breakthrough in December—are a whole ‘nother conversation."

Carbon Capture Permit Backlog Threatens Climate Progress

"If we want to reduce emissions we must deploy more clean energy technologies at scale in the United States. When it comes to CCS, the financial interest, bipartisan support and government incentives are all there to do so. We just need the EPA to act with the urgency we all agree is necessary."

Texas regulators should consider a combination of metrics to establish reliability standard, stakeholders urge

"Utilities, system operators and regulators often rely on a 1-in-10 reliability standard that requires planning margins sufficient to ensure load shedding occurs only once in a decade. But power experts say this standard may no longer recognize the reality of today’s constrained electric grids, and requiring greater reliability means higher prices."

Can we overcome the hurdles for nuclear power revival?

"Nuclear power has to be competitive with other sources of electricity based on the cost per kilowatt hour, especially in deregulated electricity markets. In regulated markets, customers pay whatever rates are approved by the public utility commission. Nuclear power benefits from its ability to deliver near full power 24/7, contributing to the stability of the electrical grid."

Clean Energy Innovation Doesn’t Have to Mean Putting America Last

"Reducing emissions and taking action on climate change should not mean ceding American dominance on the world stage. In fact, the world needs strong American leadership more than ever in the face of a challenge like climate change. The United States was the first nation to put a man on the moon and the Internet in the palms of our hands. We – not the CCP – should be at the forefront of clean energy innovation that will transform the world."

How environmental groups fuel forest fires

"Too often, their work is made much more difficult — if not impossible — by far-left environmental groups who use strategic lawsuits to prevent forest management activities from taking place. It’s time that elected officials in the nation’s capital put an end to these abusive lawsuits or, at a minimum, roll back some of the worst impacts."
