  • While many of these \u201cEnergy Communities\u201d are still booming, others have experienced plant closures or waning extraction efforts.<\/li>\n\t
  • Congress has passed new financial incentives to encourage investments in these areas, but now we need to fix permitting to allow the developers to build.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat’s clear:<\/strong> New clean energy projects located in these communities, covering 57% of the U.S. and Puerto Rico, will now be eligible for a 10% bonus on top of other clean energy tax incentives, which means that some projects could now receive tax incentives as high as 50% of the total project cost. With proper implementation, these incentives are poised to boost investment in domestic manufacturing and clean energy production throughout these newly qualified regions.

3. Domestic nuclear fuel bill moving on NDAA

 <\/div>\nAn amendment<\/strong><\/a> to the Senate NDAA that would make America\u2019s nuclear fuel supply chain more competitive was approved 96-3. The Nuclear Fuel Security Act<\/strong><\/a> would help eliminate U.S. reliance on foreign adversaries for nuclear fuel imports through domestic nuclear fuel production. The legislation led by Sens. Barrasso (R-WY) … Manchin (D-WV) \u2026 and Risch (R-ID) …\n\n

  • Enhances programs to build U.S. workforce capacity.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nWhat\u2019s clear:<\/strong> Russia provides 38% of global uranium conversion capacity and 46% of global uranium enrichment capacity. This negatively impacts existing reactors that utilize low-enriched uranium (LEU), and while many new nuclear companies in America are gearing up to build new reactors, there is currently no commercial supply of HALEU available domestically.\n\n
