FUTURE OF CLEAN ENERGY: GRID-SCALE STORAGE  <\/h1>\n\n

The future of clean energy will depend on scaling up technologies that can store massive amounts of both constant-running nuclear and intermittent renewable power.
\n
\nIn his latest video, ClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell tours various ideas to develop this grid-scale storage, from the typical ion battery to \u201crock trains\u201d and \u201cfire bricks.\u201d
\n
\nEach of these types of storage \u2013 chemical, gravity, pressure and heat \u2013 will need reliable federal investment to get to the finish line. But the potential return could radically transform the U.S. \u2013 and global \u2013 energy grid.<\/p>\n\n

SAUDIS FOUND A NUCLEAR PARTNER IN CHINA, NOT THE U.S  <\/h1>\n\n

Saudi Arabia is in the early stages of building 2.8 gigawatts of nuclear, including 16 reactors over the next two decades. <\/span>They signed an MOU with China to explore high temperature gas reactor development and another with China\u2019s leading state nuclear project developer to cooperate on uranium and thorium resources.
\n
\nSaudi Arabia has since invited U.S. firms to take part in developing its civilian nuclear power program, Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih said Dec.4. Westinghouse is in talks with other U.S.-based companies to form a consortium for a multi-billion-dollar project to build two reactors, Reuters reported.
\n
\nMeanwhile, China is looking to spend more than $3 billion to perfect a largely abandoned U.S.-created Cold War nuclear energy technology -molten salt reactors – to potentially power their warships and drones. <\/p>\n\n

SO WHAT CAN WE DO?<\/h1>\n\n

For starters, the Nuclear Innovation Alliance has a set of recommendations on speeding up U.S. nuclear energy technology exports.<\/span>
