Searching for Advanced Nuclear Power Technology? Look to Idaho
"The MARVEL reactor will be constructed at INL’s Transient Reactor Test Facility. Yasir Arafat, project lead for MARVEL, showed me the site and provided an overview of the project. Arafat explained that microreactors are 'very tiny reactors' compared to today’s more standard gigawatt-scale commercial units. He said they typically produce single-digit megawatt output, although some can run up to 20 MW or more. Arafat noted that microreactors have three key features: they can be built in factories, transported over standard roads, and are self-regulating, that is, they’re automated to operate safely without human interaction."

Natural Gas Hookup Ban Restricts Consumer Choice
"The problem is, natural gas bans are unlikely to work that way, and in the meantime, they restrict consumer choices and jeopardize the innovation that has led the U.S. to cleaner, safer technologies. Prioritizing climate change considerations over all else will serve only to stop consumers from using the type of energy that works best for their situations."

A 2017 law comes back to haunt startups in 2024
"How it used to work: If a company had $1.5 million in revenue and $1 million in expenses (let's say it was entirely domestic R&D), it would pay taxes on its $500,000 profit.
How it works now: In the same example, the company would have to amortize the $1 million in expenses over five years, so it would deduct only $200,000 (one fifth) and would pay taxes on $1.3 million in profit."
