"The MOC will supersede earlier bilateral agreements between the entities. These include separate memoranda of understanding (MOU) for cooperation and exchange of information 'in nuclear regulatory matters' between the NRC and the CNSC, signed in March 2023; an MOU between the NRC and the ONR, signed in October 2020, and an MOU between the CNSC and the ONR, signed in October 2020."
“‘I think the study from Money.co.uk is sobering because it shows the alarming quantity of emissions involved in delivering things to our homes, but that’s really only looking at the very end of the process,’ Capstick says. ‘What the report doesn’t get at is why we’re doing this in the first place. The fundamental question to ask is: ‘why are we buying all this stuff?’”
“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.”
"Even if Biden were able to encourage America automakers to rethink their production lines, China still controls the parts.”
“The inability to move forward with Keystone XL is symbolic of a broader problem with energy projects and infrastructure, generally: the unnecessary delays to build just about anything."
“Yet while these politically-motivated moves appear to be driving our energy policy, lurching first one way, then another, energy researchers say the reality is that markets and emerging technologies are both pushing towards a carbon-free future, regardless of U.S. domestic energy policy.”
"Texas in particular stands out: The data shows a hundred-mile-wide corridor of near-surface geothermal heat that cuts across the state from the Rio Grande Valley northwest past Houston to Shreveport, La. — encompassing not only a constellation of military bases and power plants but also one of the country’s greatest industrial heartlands."
"To meet the future energy needs of Americans, we need more pipeline and refinery capacity, not less. We need to continue to responsibly develop the vast energy resources our country is blessed with, on both private and federal lands."
"The top priority must be to continue producing U.S. energy. Over the past four years, the Department of Energy advanced a true all-of-the-above policy that leveraged all fuels and all technologies to enhance our energy and national security as well as hasten the transition to less carbon-intensive fuels by developing nations."
"Domestic production of smelter aluminum—which is known as primary aluminum—is on pace this year for 689,000 metric tons, which would be the lowest since 1950. Smelters have been steadily going out of business for years, pinched between stagnant aluminum prices and escalating power costs, which in some cases have climbed by more than one-third in recent years."
