It was great to discuss the power of our diverse US #energy portfolio at the Republican National Committee with my friends and colleagues, Maria Korsnick, Karen Harbert and Jason Grumet. Energy comprises approximately 5 percent of our nation’s GDP… but, importantly, it is the FIRST 5 percent: it makes the other 95 percent possible.

Reliable always on power. Nuclear is a super critical part of an all of the above solution to climate change. (Pun intended)
Constellation Energy Corp has filed a 20-year licence renewal application for the Clinton nuclear power plant in Illinois, which it says would allow the plant to continue providing carbon-free energy to the region until 2047 with adequate market or policy support. https://lnkd.in/dM7HHhFy

Lifetime Achievement Award at Marquis Who's Who,Honored by IAOTP as Top Power Plant Consultant of the Year for 2020, Lifetime Achievement Award Honoree 2022 by IAOTP,Fellow American Biographical Institute
One of the comments mentioned: "As the governor said, we’re looking forward to Vogtle FIVE!"{Emphasis added] Some Thoughts: (1) Plant Vogtle is already the LARGEST Generator of CLEAN Energy in the U.S. (2) Depending upon "WHEN" the decision to build Vogtle Unit 5 is made (Shorter the GAP seems should be more Advantageous), the following important Benefits should be viewed as "Low-hanging Fruit".! - Standard Design (Successfully Operating AP1000s) - Supply-Chain - Experienced Craftsmen - More Efficient Construction - Lower Risks All the above should result in relatively "Lower" COST and "Shorter" Project/Construction SCHEDULE.! Btw: Potential Future Vogtle Site could look like.! Vogtle 1&2(PWR)+Vogtle 3&4(AP1000)+Vogtle 5(REPLICATED AP1000) [ COST=$8.9B ] [ COST =$36.85B ] [ Must be "Cost-competitive"] [ COD=1987-89] [COD=2023-24 ] [ ON-Bugdet & ON-Schedule] Many UNIQUE Issues! <---------------Lower NORMALIZED $/KWe & $/MWhr----------------> #DATABASE (1970-2024)
Today, we were honored to be joined by federal leaders at Plant Vogtle, including Congressman Rick Allen and DOE Secretary Jennifer Granholm. With the site’s expansion complete, Plant Vogtle is now the largest generator of clean energy in the United States. As electricity demand continues to increase across the country, emission-free nuclear energy represents a key component of Georgia’s diverse power supply strategy, and Oglethorpe Power is proud to be a co-owner of this important baseload resource.

Energy markets update from Flagship Energy: Six of the ten nuclear reactors in the UK experienced unplanned or scheduled outages earlier this week. Due to the abundance of gas supplies and wind power, it hasn't significantly affected wholesale power pricing in the UK, but in the past few weeks, there has been a lot of news about nuclear power in the UK. #BusinessEnergyNews #Finance&Markets #FlagshipEnergy #gasmarket #HinkleyPointC #nuclearenergy #Oil #powermarket

SMR as source of clean power supply is a hype prevalent for data centers in US. However none of these SMRs have been commissioned and operating to date. The last order for SMR has also been scrapped due to delays and cost overruns. Because of small sizes, SMRs are costing nearly 3-4 times the conventional nuclear power reactors and nearly 4-5 times per MW of renewable sources. Besides ofcourse being plagued by conventional safety, environmental & proliferation concerns which persist to add additional burdens on costs.. As per the latest reports, the ‘diseconomy of scale’ was demonstrated by the now-terminated proposal to build six NuScale Power SMRs (77 megawatts each) in Idaho in the United States.

Advocate for a globally competitive #AUSTRALIANFUSIONENERGYINDUSTRY with strategic communications expertise.
Best invest in Building and talking about Fusion power, space, maritime propulsion systems and industry as data centres are. Great Headline, Guardian on Nuclear fission. https://lnkd.in/g8sMZtpR People talk about Nuclear (meaning Fission) and fail to discuss fusion. https://lnkd.in/ge_aeX7M The nuclear fission industry is ignorant of what's happening around it. It must pull its collective uranium heads out of the sand and prepare to enter the commercially growing fusion energy industry. Fission is moving towards obsolescence at an ever-increasing pace, as it is "out of step, out of time, out of place, and soon to be out of Fuel" and merely temporary. https://lnkd.in/gbd_mZqk By 2028, Helion is expected to start producing electricity from its first fusion commercial power plant, which will provide electricity to Microsoft. The plant will produce at least 50 MWe after an initial ramp-up period. https://lnkd.in/gY9J3MQY Now, see what is happening in the world of the fusion industry. https://lnkd.in/g9hMBD7a As fission trebles, fuel shortage is increasingly real, https://lnkd.in/gze5rwpr
The Nuclear Industry Association is delighted at the news that the Government has named Wylfa as its "first choice site for large-scale gigawatt nuclear power plant” and that it is “kickstarting talks with global energy firms to explore building the new power plant.” This means jobs, clean power, and energy security on a grand scale: our Chief Exec Tom Greatrex reacts below. Department for Energy Security and Net Zero announcement here: https://lnkd.in/eu9AGe5P PIN issued to vendors this morning here: https://lnkd.in/eFhwfSvZ

The cost of building seven reactors under Peter Dutton’s nuclear proposal could be up to $600 billion and “at best” deliver just 3.7 per cent of Australia’s energy mix in 2050, an industry body says. The coalition has pledged to build the nuclear reactors across five states on the sites of coal-fired power stations if it wins government at the next election. The costs and details of the plans have remained scant, prompting concerns about safety in regional areas where the reactors are due to be built and the drawn-out 2035 completion date for construction of the first facility. #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #GreenEnergy #SolarPower #WindEnergy #EnergyEfficiency #ClimateChange #SustainableEnergy #GreenTechnology #EcoFriendly #EnvironmentalImpact #FutureEnergy #EnergyInnovation #Renewables

On May 9, the Center on Global Energy Policy held a virtual roundtable to discuss nuclear reactor permitting reform and the environmental reviews by the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). The event focused on whether the US permitting system could be a bottleneck to achieving #NetZero greenhouse gas emissions, given the need for hundreds of gigawatts of low-carbon energy resources. Read the roundtable report: https://lnkd.in/es4mAaXa

The Biden administration is failing on energy policy. Step one should be ensuring reliable baseload power. America’s energy demand is increasing while the Biden Admin retires reliable generation. We must continue to produce American energy through new technologies, natural gas, and bipartisan legislation like my Atomic Energy Advancement Act to prepare for America’s nuclear renaissance.
