It’s Time to Modernize America’s Nuclear Power Policy

"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."

Backed by advocates, Duke Energy finalizes plan to help customers improve home efficiency

"Under the program set to begin next year, Duke will buy the new appliance or whatever improvements are deemed appropriate for participating households.

The US wants to end its reliance on Chinese lithium. Its policies are doing the opposite.

"The United States desperately needs to hasten the development of supply chains for critical minerals that don’t involve China and Chinese companies for both commercial and national security interests. Unfortunately, current policies, including regulations from the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), are doing exactly the opposite. They are hurting demand for electric vehicles, the very products that will incentivize the development of these supply chains. Instead, Washington needs to unleash the power of the US market by removing barriers to accessing capital, fast-tracking manufacturing, providing high-level diplomatic support, and promoting domestic demand."
