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.

Our speaker line up is stacked ⚡️
The Energy Imperatives Summit kicks off June 9–10 at the Capital Hilton in Washington, D.C.

“The Plaza Accord of 1985 and the diplomatic campaign that surrounded it succeeded in rapidly reversing the trade deficit. But the success did not last,” writes Michael Starr.
“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.
