…nuclear power plants is a tall order, which makes coordinating the resources of multiple states an attractive option. However, doing so requires navigating a highly complex legal and regulatory landscape as well as the physical infrastructure of the U.S. power grid. The concept of an “interstate compact” itself opens legal questions related to the Compact Clause. In practical terms, any…

…rule text and thoughtful comments from stakeholders and future licensees, the answer to these questions is no. The Commissioners should return the rule to the staff along with communicating any necessary schedule changes, resources needs, or legislative gaps to policymakers. The NRC must be prepared to safely and efficiently license reactors without imposing unnecessary regulatory, cost or timeliness burdens. Congress…

…scale than the status quo. Instead of revising the proposed rule to account for challenges ahead, the Biden Administration’s final NEPA permitting rule increases uncertainty, adds new requirements to permitting reviews that move the process in the wrong direction and ultimately increases emissions through permitting delays. The Biden Administration’s voluntary actions prioritize a political agenda rather than build upon the…

…and investments in clean hydrogen infrastructure in order to deploy low-emissions steel. Passing the bipartisan SUPER Act would build on the Energy Act of 2020, and complement recent emissions reduction commitments from some of America’s major steel companies. The same way the Industrial Revolution did not happen overnight, neither will the decarbonization of the industrial sector. By advancing innovative clean…

This op-ed was originally published by RealClear Energy on December 9, 2024. Click here to read the entire piece. Carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies are often described – on both sides of the aisle – as a central pillar of America’s clean energy future. They can help solve for global energy emissions and decarbonize hard-to-abate industries, all while reinforcing U.S….

…technologies that can lower the cost of hydrogen that are also on the cusp of commercialization like very efficient, high-temperature hydrogen production being demonstrated at an Xcel Energy nuclear plant. Hydrogen Is a Unique Molecule That Has the Ability to Cross Between Traditional Energy Sectors Commonsense Improvements While many companies are preparing for hydrogen to play a significant role in…

…manufacturing and lead the world in an AI-driven future, we must build more and strengthen the energy system to deliver reliable, affordable, secure power. This is essential to our national, economic and energy security. To win in the new era of energy demand and global competitiveness, ClearPath’s 2026 priorities follow a simple playbook: let America innovate, build and sell. Scale…

…scenarios lead to nearly triple the cumulative volume of captured carbon by 2050 compared to the baseline cases, respectively. Cumulative Net Captured CO2 from Industrial Figure 4. Cumulative net captured CO2 accounts for the utilization factor at a given plant, plus reduces gross captured CO2 to account for emissions attributable to gas and power use for the capture process itself….
