\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDo you know which renewable energy source has the best track record of reducing emissions in the U.S. and abroad? That\u2019s right, hydropower! It’s clean, safe, and dispatchable when we need it. The U.S. hydropower fleet produces enough electricity to power more than 20 million households each year, making it the fourth largest electricity source after natural gas, coal and nuclear. It is also the country\u2019s largest form of energy storage, making up 97% of America\u2019s total<\/span><\/strong><\/a> with additional development potential around the country. Hydropower is one of the oldest ways to make electricity, but since the 1960s the stream of hydropower development gradually slowed to a trickle. Here\u2019s a\nfree hint to the candidates — talk about fixing the bureaucratic federal licensing process for hydropower because today developers must navigate a licensing process that can take more than six years, spanning multiple state and federal government agencies.

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u201cThere are several major pieces of carbon capture legislation moving through Congress including the Launching Energy Advancement through Innovations in Natural Gas (LEADING Act) the Utilizing Significant Emissions with Innovative Technologies (USE IT) Act that will help put the real-world research happening at the National Carbon Capture Center to commercialization.
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe LEADING Act takes a Manhattan project-style approach to carbon capture for natural gas. It streamlines the Department of Energy by dedicating resources to perfecting carbon capture technologies for natural gas power plants, an authorization the Department lacks today. It also encourages active public-private partnerships and establishes ambitious proof-of-concept project goals.The USE IT Act, along with the the 45Q incentive, has the potential to boost commercial carbon capture deployment in the U.S., which can lead to significant increases in enhanced oil recovery and other economic benefits.\u201d
