1:07:25Now PlayingAmerica’s energy future is shining a little brighter after the recent passage of the bipartisan ADVANCE Act to bolster U.S. nuclear power production. The new law seeks to broaden how America generates power, creating a more resilient infrastructure to meet the surging energy demands driven by data centers, electric vehicles and reshored factories.
Of course, the law isn’t without its critics or competition. Concerns have been raised about potential safety issues and challenges related to nuclear waste. On the other hand, there are those who worry the newest law doesn’t go nearly far enough to catch up to the likes of India or China as they far outpace the U.S. in building nuclear reactors. In China alone, there are 27 nuclear reactors currently under development. The question now is: where do we go from here?
How can nuclear power help the United States meet unprecedented electricity demands? What changes should be made to the regulatory process without sacrificing safety and environmental concerns? And as the case for energy independence increasingly becomes one of national security, how can the United States ensure it doesn’t fall behind in the global clean energy race?
Join The Hill as we convene clean energy experts, and executives to answer these questions and more.
