With the goal to catalyze more rapid and coordinated action across the full technology value chain, @ENERGY's #NuclearLiftoff establishes a common fact-base for the private sector for critical clean energy technologies. #BuildNuclearNow 1/x liftoff.energy.gov/wp-content/upl… Image
Regardless of level of #renewables deployment, to achieve net-zero in the U.S. by 2050 requires ~550–770 GW of additional clean, firm capacity. Modeling results indicate demand for 200+ GW of new nuclear capacity. #AdvancedNuclear 2/x Image
Multiple system-level decarbonization modeling exercises over the last 2 years have concluded that, especially with estimates for #renewables buildout that account for limitations from #transmission expansion and #LandUse, significant new #nuclear power would be required by 2050. Image

The Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources held a hearing on infrastructure this week:

energy.senate.gov/hearings/2021/…

Lots of discussion about water use and wildfire management, but also commentary on nuclear power and critical minerals that may be of interest to investors. Image
In his opening remarks, Chairman @Sen_JoeManchin talked about supporting our “zero emission #nuclear fleet” and rebuilding our domestic supply chains by responsibly mining #criticalminerals
Ranking member @SenJohnBarrasso also opened with a mention of the “necessity of advanced nuclear”

It is notable that the two most senior members, Democrat and Republican, are both strongly supportive of #nuclear power.

In the past few weeks, I've given several talks on #advancednuclear with folks who are not very familiar with the technology. It's been great to hear questions from new audiences who are open to nuclear, but also have valid concerns. These resources address those concerns...
For folks who aren't energy wonks, a common question regards proliferation and security concerns around new reactors, especially when exporting tech. This @PGSnuclear report evaluates advanced reactor concepts on security & safeguards metrics: globalnexusinitiative.org/wp-content/upl…
There's also a common perception that nuclear is on the decline, or that there is no future market for it. But check out this great project from @ThirdWayEnergy @energyforgrowth mapping the market for advanced nuclear. Lots of countries want nuclear energy thirdway.org/memo/mapping-t…

“The next gen. of nuclear energy is critical to our Nation’s energy security & environmental stewardship,” said U.S. Secretary of Energy Dan Brouillette. “As the recently released Nuclear Fuel Working Group’s Strategy to Restore American Nuclear Energy Leadership exemplifies,
we must pursue technological innovation and advanced nuclear RD&D investments to strengthen American leadership in the next generation of nuclear technologies, ensuring a healthy and growing U.S. nuclear energy sector.”
