COSTELLO: CHINA “CLEANING OUR CLOCK” IN CLEAN ENERGY <\/h1>\n\n

China is \u201ccleaning our clock\u201d in clean energy innovation, Rep. Ryan Costello said at a Nov. 6 event hosted by ClearPath. \u201cThey are certainly at least winning the clean energy deployment race.\u201d Jobs and economic growth that are being created in the clean energy space \u201cwill reshape the global energy sector,\u201d Costello said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s really just a question of whether or not we\u2019re going to formulate and shape policy to direct those jobs in such a way that it becomes a smart investment to do it here.\u201d<\/span>
\n
\nClearPath Executive Director Rich Powell added the U.S. power system no longer is \u201cthe most sophisticated machine in the world,\u201d with China aggressively expanding both its coal and clean energy deployment.<\/span>

THE EXPERTS WEIGH IN  <\/h1>\n\n

A panel of experts moderated by Axios energy reporter Amy Harder tackled whether China is already winning the clean energy race against the U.S. and, if so, what can be done here to catch up. <\/span>
\n
\nAmong the highlights:<\/span><\/span><\/strong>
\n
\nCouncil on Foreign Relations fellow Varun Sivaram: China is playing to its innovation strengths and has a concrete strategy for rapid deployment, as opposed to the U.S. But the innovation race is far from over. <\/span>
\n
\nChristopher Guith of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce\u2019s Global Energy Institute: China\u2019s trade policies broadly put the U.S. at a disadvantage but the U.S. can win big on leading global efforts to store energy not just from renewables but all power sources. <\/span>
\n
\nCarbon Utilization Research Council\u2019s Shannon Angielski: U.S. is winning the race to develop and commercialize technologies that capture, store and utilize carbon emissions from coal plants particularly for use in enhanced oil recovery. Further advancement can be made with using carbon to manufacture a range of products. <\/span>
\n
\nNuclear Infrastructure Council\u2019s David Blee: It\u2019s not game over but \u201cgame on\u201d in the advanced nuclear space, thanks in part to growing federal support.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

CEOS TO APPROPRIATORS: FUND CLEAN ENERGY INNOVATION <\/h1>\n\n

ClearPath Founder Jay Faison joined other top business and industry voices – including Southern Company CEO Tom Fanning, former Lockheed Martin CEO Norm Augustine, GE SVP and Chief Technology Officer Victor Abate and U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Tom Donohue – in asking leading congressional appropriators to properly fund energy innovation efforts. \u201cOther nations, including China, have announced large investments to meet this demand and seek to lock in strategic advantages that will be difficult for the U.S. to compete with if we do not make investments in energy innovation a priority,\u201d they wrote. \u201cRobust funding for energy innovation at such a pivotal moment would support long- term American competitiveness in one of the world\u2019s fastest growing markets and should be prioritized.” <\/span><\/p>\n\n

CHINA COMMERCIALIZING, SELLING OUR TECHNOLOGIES <\/h1>\n\n

China is finishing construction on four AP1000 reactors from Westinghouse. Part of the licensing deal is that China is allowed to use the IP for a bigger design. They are designing the CAP1400, a 1400 MW version of the U.S. design, which they will market for export. <\/span>

MCMORRIS-RODGERS HYDRO BILL PASSES HOUSE<\/h1>\n\n

House lawmakers Nov. 8 approved a critical measure from Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) that would improve burdensome licensing and relicensing for non-federal hydropower facilities. <\/span>
\n
\nThe <\/span>Hydropower Policy Modernization Act (H.R. 3043<\/span><\/strong><\/a>), approved 257-166, aims to help the roughly 400 hydropower projects that will be up for relicensing by 2030, representing 18,000 megawatts of capacity. The bill would also clear the way for additions to domestic hydropower capacity, including generation to non-powered dams and closed-loop pumped storage.
\n
\n\u201cThis is strong part of a growing suite of House Republican efforts to help clean, reliable hydropower,\u201d ClearPath Action Executive Director Rich Powell said. <\/span>
\n
\n\u201cThe bill will encourage private-sector hydropower production by creating a more reasonable licensing process that balances clean energy development with environmental concerns,\u201d ClearPath Action Policy Associate Justin Ong added. <\/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

ADVANCED NUCLEAR, CARBON CAPTURE ABSENT IN TAX REFORM<\/h1>\n\n

The House Ways and Means Committee Nov. 8 approved a tax reform plan that includes a modification to the 45J tax credit for production from advanced nuclear power facilities that is vital to the expansion of the U.S. fleet. But that modification is absent from a competing Senate tax reform package unveiled that day.
\n
\nNeither the House nor the Senate plan includes bipartisan efforts to expand and extend the Section 45Q incentive<\/strong><\/a> <\/span>that is part of a multi-pronged financing effort for carbon capture projects. These incentives have the potential to dramatically boost commercial carbon capture deployment in the U.S., which can lead to significant increases in enhanced oil recovery and other economic benefits. ClearPath recently joined major coal and oil producers, labor unions and advocates – including Occidental Petroleum, Peabody Energy, Cloud Peak Energy, United Mine Workers and the Carbon Utilization Research Council – in sending a letter<\/span><\/strong><\/a> to Senate Finance Committee leaders asking them to include the 45Q extension and fix.<\/p>\n\n
