1. Unleash American resource independence<\/h1>\n
\n\"\"
\n
\nReducing dependence on resources, energy and critical minerals<\/strong> from places like China and Russia is clearly a shared, bipartisan goal.
\n
\nWhat\u2019s clear:<\/strong> Dependence leads to increased global emissions and handicaps American businesses.
\n
\nPlug in:<\/strong> There are proposals being considered to unleash American energy  independence. 
\n
\nHere are a few:\n
    \n\t
  • Provide critical minerals projects in America faster permitting timelines to reduce reliance on imports from China and others with poor human rights records.<\/li>\n\t
  • Russia is the only country currently producing advanced nuclear fuel.<\/li>\n\t
  • We should incentivize American nuclear fuel production.<\/li>\n\t
  • Fast track decisions on American natural gas and hydrogen export facility permits to get our clean, and cleaner, fuels to global markets faster.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

2. Hydropower\u2019s staying power
\n
\n\"\"  <\/h1>\nHydropower is among the most reliable forms of renewable energy, and while capacity has remained constant, innovations suggest we could tap more resources in the coming years.
\n
\nWhat\u2019s clear:<\/strong> Currently, we have about 102 GW of hydropower and pumped storage capacity, or enough to power more than 75 million homes in the United States. DOE\u2019s HydroVision<\/span><\/strong><\/a> predicts the U.S. could add 50 GW of hydropower through 2050, including:\n\n

3. Clear path for advanced nuclear licensing<\/h1>\n\n

\n\"\"
\n <\/div>\nIn order for advanced nuclear reactors to play a huge role<\/strong> in America\u2019s future energy mix, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will need to modernize its licensing process.
\n
\nWhat\u2019s clear:<\/strong> Without a larger share of nuclear power, goals to lower carbon dioxide emissions are less likely to succeed and will certainly be more expensive.\n\n

4. A Calif. case study for modernizing permitting<\/h1>\n\n

\n\"\"
\n <\/div>\nWhen it comes to how energy projects are reviewed and permitted<\/strong>, \u201cone generation\u2019s solutions have become the next generation\u2019s problems\u201d according to this NYT column<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.
\n
\nWhat\u2019s clear:<\/strong> Clean energy and grid modernization present opportunities, but burdensome and outdated regulations may mean that new projects take five years on average to come online.\n\n
