Bill Gates joins an agenda of policymakers, climate advocates and innovators—including Energy Secretary Granholm—at the 2021 Nuclear Energy Assembly, which runs from June 7-9

The International Energy Agency released a report last week, "Net Zero by 2050," about how to avoid the worst effects of climate change. We asked two of our experts about whether this warning will be enough to drive change in policy and corporate decision-making.

To reduce emissions as quickly as we can, we will need every carbon-free energy source available, including some that don’t exist yet. GE Hitachi’s BWRX-300 is a great example of innovation that will help us reach our ambitious climate goals.

To achieve zero carbon emissions by 2035, we’ll need to deploy a variety of technologies to decarbonize our entire economy, not just where we get our electricity. Among the innovations being researched are new ways to produce carbon-free hydrogen with nuclear energy.

After more than 45 years of powering New York with reliable, carbon-free electricity, the Indian Point Energy Center has shut down. Indian Point 2 and 3 have generated its last megawatts of electricity before prematurely ceasing operations.

At the moment climate change is recognized as an urgent problem and nuclear is viewed as an important part of the solution, a new study shows that reactors in PJM face shutdown down, right when they’re needed the most.

President Biden met with 40 world leaders and promised to get the United States back on the climate control track. . But real progress will require action, investment and policy, and nuclear energy will be key to making any climate solution work.

On April 22-23, the U.S. will host 40 world leaders to discuss setting more ambitious carbon-reduction targets at the Leaders Summit on Climate. We asked three of our experts what would be the most encouraging developments from this international meeting.

The Biden administration is working to put the U.S. in position to address climate change. As the largest provider of around-the-clock carbon-free energy and with new innovations on the horizon, nuclear energy is the ideal partner to wind and solar in this endeavor.

What exactly does an energy grid that is both reliable and carbon-free look like in the U.S. and how do we get there? We asked experts from NEI and the Electric Power Research Institute who specialize in technology, innovation, policy and more to weigh in on this very question.
