Through @NRCgov and Chairman Nieh’s leadership, I’m confident that a positive cultural shift towards harnessing the full breadth of nuclear power is upon us. Thank you, @AmericanAffrs, for hosting such timely discussions on American energy dominance at this pivotal moment for the industry.

“Even if Apple under Ternus successfully navigates the political pressures on both sides, satisfying [DC] and Beijing enough to retain market access, it may find that the market it spent so much political capital protecting has already moved against it,” writes @isaacstonefish.

“Our nation has built a political environment in which every form of generation and load can be stalled, canceled, or delegitimized, and in which even approvals often fail to deliver finality,” writes @ppavnr.

“Our permitting laws cut off the president’s ability to succeed by delivering new projects, but they offer him readymade authority to block projects. This creates a political incentive to prefer abuse,” writes @AidanRMackenzie.

Landmark piece by the eminent @TKavulla.
“The rising power demand of the data center industry almost appears like an industry running within the integrated grid but outside the usual paradigm of the traditional electric utility sector. Indeed, it should be treated as such,” writes @TKavulla. americanaffairsjournal.org/2…
