HIGGINS INTRODUCES ADVANCED NUCLEAR GOALS BILL   <\/h1>\n\n

Rep. Clay Higgins (R-La.) this week introduced H.R. 5260<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, which <\/span>would set a goal by 2028 for demonstrating at least four new commercially-competitive advanced reactor designs. The bill mirrors the <\/span>Advanced Nuclear Energy Technologies Act (S. 1457)<\/span><\/strong><\/a> from Sens. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) and Cory Booker (D-N.J.) that was approved last week in the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. 
\n
\n\u201cNew modular technologies hold great promise and should be a priority for the department,\u201d Higgins said at a House Science and Technology hearing on national labs. A \u201cclear set of goals\u201d at the Department of Energy to develop these technologies helps the U.S. regain global leadership in nuclear energy security, \u201cretake a key strategic advantage from China and Russia,\u201d open new domestic power generation markets and create many jobs, he said. <\/span>
\n
\nIdaho National Lab Director Mark Peters said he supports what Higgins is trying to do in the bill, while noting a \u201cplace like INL would be a place to build these demonstrations.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody><\/table>\n\t\t\t\t\n \n\t\t\t\t\n <\/td>\n <\/tr>\n <\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n \n \n

WHY WE NEED “MOONSHOT” CLEAN ENERGY TECH GOALS <\/h1>\n\n

ClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell has a well-timed new video explaining why these type of \u201cmoonshot\u201d advanced nuclear, grid-scale storage and other goals will effectively prioritize the Department of Energy\u2019s efforts, which presently can be a mile wide and an inch deep. <\/span>
\n
\nRich\u2019s video – in less than four minutes with the help of ClearPath graphics wizard Mitch Kersey – sums up his recent appearance before the House Energy and Commerce Committee with this optimistic takeaway message: While the U.S. may not be able to compete with China in cranes and concrete, setting moonshot energy technology goals can help ensure U.S. leadership in innovation and deployment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

\nNEWS NUGGETS<\/h1>\n\n

Energy Secretary Rick Perry praised his department\u2019s ARPA-E effort, noting it has attracted more than $2.6 billion in private sector follow-up funding and led to the creation of 71 companies. \u201cARPA-E is one of the reasons DOE has had, and is having, such as profound impact on American lives,\u201d Perry said in a video address<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span>to this week\u2019s ARPA-E conference. Perry later told the House Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee that he would honor and follow instructions from Congress regarding ARPA-E.
