Nuclear, An American Alternative to Russian Energy

Posted on December 13, 2022 by Natalie Houghtalen

During the flurry of lame-duck activity, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee passed the International Nuclear Energy Act (S.4046) by voice vote. The policy is intended to support global clean energy deployment and national security. The United States, in partnership with its allies, must offer a competitive alternative to Russian nuclear exports, or Russia will continue expanding its geopolitical influence.

Clean Energy Infrastructure Year Marches On

Posted on November 21, 2022 by Matthew Mailloux

November 2022 marks the first anniversary of the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s (IIJA) robust investments in energy demonstration projects. This law, and its forerunner the Energy Act of 2020, both earned broad bipartisan support to invest in American infrastructure innovation and pave the way for America to once again lead the world in breakthrough clean energy technologies.

Conservative Climate Solutions on the Global Stage

Posted on November 9, 2022 by Jane Reynolds

Since the first COP meeting in Berlin, Germany in 1995, member nations, or Parties, have been meeting on a nearly annual basis to discuss global climate action. This year, at the 27th conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt, the Parties are focusing on taking actions to address the effects of climate change, including reducing carbon emissions and building more resilient communities around the globe.

Pipelines are Fundamental for Reaching Climate Goals

Posted on November 3, 2022 by Rich Powell , Mitch Kersey and Grant Cummings

If the U.S. wants to reach its emissions reduction goals, a diverse mix of energy solutions is needed – including hydrogen and carbon capture. However, we’ll need a huge buildout of pipeline infrastructure to get that hydrogen and captured carbon where it needs to go.

Welcoming the largest generator of clean power in the US (The Hill)

Posted on October 21, 2022 by Rich Powell

Nuclear reactors are America’s clean energy battleships. They make up the majority of our zero-carbon power, and we are at a crossroads. Our nuclear energy muscles were beginning to atrophy, but the technology is making a roaring comeback.

Let’s move beyond false climate choices (CNN)

Posted on October 20, 2022 by Rich Powell

Climate debates in Washington are often based on false choices: renewables versus fossils, economy versus environment, 100% global emissions reduction versus inaction at home. The truth is, no government or business will achieve climate goals and see economic success unless all energy resources are on the table.

Geothermal Gains Ground With Reliable Clean Energy Demands

Posted on October 5, 2022 by Spencer Nelson

Geothermal provides emissions-free heat and power with the highest capacity factor of any renewable energy source. It also has a small land footprint, which is an increasingly valuable trait as large-scale renewable energy siting runs into headwinds. States, utilities, and investors are all beginning to realize that geothermal is a no-brainer – all that’s left is getting the regulations in order.
