"China has mastered the technology to design and construct gigawatt-class nuclear power plants with pressurized water reactors, it adds. Breakthroughs have also been made in ‘multiple frontier technologies including those associated with fast reactors and advanced small modular reactors.’"
U.S.-produced energy is far too valuable to politicize.
“Biden’s goals include carbon-free electricity by 2035, more wind and solar to get the nation to net-zero emissions and 100% clean energy by 2050."

Indeed, the only way to effectively counter China’s dominance in clean energy technologies is to embrace more, not less, trade with most other nations."
"The CO2 tax is a regressive burden on the energy that keeps Americans comfortable and healthy, and it will impose its greatest financial burdens on the businesses and communities that can least afford it. Americans already are drastically cutting emissions, and the arguments in support of the tax undercut the very market mechanisms upon which supporters claim to rely."
"Ducks Unlimited started nearly 90 years ago to conserve, restore, and manage wetlands and other habitats for waterfowl. DU has been involved in a 27,000-acre donation that serves as a home to several endangered species in Florida and a project that partially restored a wetland in Minnesota."
