RICH: WE NEED “MOONSHOT” ENERGY TECH GOALS AT DOE     <\/h1>\n\n

ClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell touted the need for \u201cmoonshot\u201d clean energy technology goals and private-sector-style management and cooperation, during a Jan. 9 House Energy Subcommittee hearing on modernizing the Department of Energy. \u201cWe may not be able to beat China with cranes and concrete, but we can win in high-skilled manufacturing of carbon capturing fuel cells, printable solar panels and modular advanced reactors.\u201d<\/span>
\n
\n\u201cBut these breakthroughs do not happen overnight,\u201d he added. \u201cThe private sector is often ill-positioned to pioneer new and capital-intensive technologies alone. DOE must remain central to America\u2019s clean innovation dominance, linking academic research and commercial products.\u201d RICH’S TESTIMONY<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/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

In one exchange with Rep.

U.S. MUST MATCH CHINA’S CLEAN ENERGY COMMITMENT <\/h1>\n\n

In response to Rep. Ryan Costello, Rich said the U.S. needs to rival China in its \u201cdeep commitment\u201d to advanced energy or risk falling further behind in the global clean energy race. Much of that commitment would be housed at the Department of Energy, including its popular ARPA-E program.<\/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

\nNRC APPROVES SAFETY FEATURE FOR NEXT-GEN DESIGN <\/h1>\n\n

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a novel safety approach included in NuScale Power\u2019s next-generation nuclear reactor design. NRC concluded that unlike all existing U.S. nuclear plants, NuScale\u2019s design does not require any emergency back-up power to shut down and ensure safety. This is a key step in the broader review of NuScale\u2019s small modular reactor design certification application that began in March 2017 and is expected to wrap up by September 2020.

NEWS NUGGETS <\/h1>\n\n

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission unanimously agreed to initiate a new process regarding determining the reliability of the U.S. power grid in response to a Department of Energy\u2019s grid resiliency recommendation partially intended to properly reward nuclear\u2019s role as a clean and reliable power source. FERC stressed that grid resiliency is indeed important and has requested additional information from power grid operators on how to define resilience, how to assess it and recommendations for any future action.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Sen. Shelley Moore Capito is back on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee. Capito is a leading backer of bipartisan legislation that would extend and expand the 45Q carbon capture tax incentive. That bill would fall under the jurisdiction of the Senate Finance Committee, which as of this week will also include 45Q cosponsor Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse.<\/span>
