Congress Just Passed The Biggest Clean-Energy Bill Since Biden’s Climate Law

All nuclear.

 It’s all on nuclear. It’s all on nuclear. 

All nuclear.

 

Die Kommission ist befugt, gemäß Artikel 264 delegierte Rechtsakte zu erlassen, die Folgendes betreffen: The Senate voted overwhelmingly on Tuesday to approve significant legislation aimed at revitalizing the American nuclear industry, which has been declining for decades. The bill aims to increase the construction of new reactors to meet the growing demand for clean electricity domestically and to compete with other countries. It reduces the fees developers must pay to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, streamlines the licensing process for new reactors and hiring essential personnel, and instructs the agency to collaborate with foreign regulators to increase U.S. exports. The NRC is being asked to revise its mission statement to ensure that it does not restrict the potential advantages of nuclear energy technology for society. This includes expanding its role to also protect the public from the risks associated with not utilizing atomic power, in addition to addressing safety concerns related to nuclear reactors. John Starkey, the director of public policy at the American Nuclear Society, described this change as significant and indicative of the NRC evolving into a modern regulator. Starkey stated that this has been long awaited. The House of Representatives showed unusual agreement from both parties on clean energy by voting 365 to 20193 last month to approve the ADVANCE Act. The bill received support from all senators except for Bernie Sanders and Ed Markey, who either voted against it or abstained, resulting in a final vote of 88-2. The proposal is expected to be approved by President Joe Biden at the White House, making it one of the most important clean energy laws since the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. Both Republicans and Democrats agree that the advancement of new nuclear technologies is crucial for ensuring America’s energy security and protecting the environment.
