"Plant Vogtle’s Units 3 and 4 are the first nuclear reactors to be constructed in the United States in more than three decades, and it’s no wonder. Overregulation and the absurd cost – both time-wise and financially – of the NRC permitting process are stopping clean, safe nuclear energy in its tracks. We’re allowing outdated fears and bureaucratic inertia dictate our energy future, while our energy security and climate goals suffer."
"'It’s a really good time to merge energy and climate policy with rational approaches to being cleaner,' said Rep. John Curtis (R-Utah), who chairs the nearly 80-member Conservative Climate Caucus. 'Before, maybe the whole conversation was on being clean. Now, it’s about being affordable, reliable, safe, and clean. That’s a good nexus for a lot of us.'"
"A well-functioning marketplace requires rules—institutions such as property rights, an unhindered system of profit and loss, and a fair and stable law of contract. It also requires an abundant level of freedom within the confines of these institutions. Fundamentally, most government interventions into the market tinker with these institutions and hamper that freedom."
he growth in U.S. hydrogen investment is encouraging and will help meet America’s energy needs and climate ambitions. America is an innovative global energy leader, and over the coming years, the U.S. could lead the world in hydrogen too.
"The modules will use carbonate fuel cells to efficiently capture and concentrate carbon dioxide streams. Combustion exhaust from an external source, like a flue stream, will be directed to the fuel cell, which electrochemically reacts fuel and air to produce power, while capturing and concentrating carbon dioxide for utilization or permanent storage. The modular design enables the technology to be deployed at a wide range of locations, operate at high efficiency, and advance business goals at hard-to-decarbonize industrial and commercial applications."
"The breakthrough could lead to the scale-up of long-duration fluorenone-based flow batteries, which PNNL unveiled in 2021, according to PNNL. Flow batteries store energy in liquid electrolytes."
"The United States can continue to be a leader in nuclear power, but only if the government modernizes its regulations to allow innovators the freedom to innovate. Allowing the inefficiencies and delays that ensnared the Vogtle project to continue will not only impede reductions in carbon emissions but also harm national energy security and reliability for businesses and consumers."
"The startup also secured third-party certification of its surfactants’ greenhouse gas impacts, which are 45% lower than comparable ingredients — a plus for manufacturers with carbon goals."
The Heritage Foundation provides their analysis on how the science of climate change does not justify extreme policies.
"Under the program set to begin next year, Duke will buy the new appliance or whatever improvements are deemed appropriate for participating households. Over the course of up to 12 years, customers then pay the company back through their utility bills. Even while paying the tariff, which includes the company’s 8.4% of return, the energy savings should lower their monthly costs by 10% or more."
