Innovation in Carbon-Free Energy Will Define the 2020s. Technology solutions are shaping up to play a major role in how we will mitigate the impacts of climate change. And nuclear energy is very much part of this innovation boom.
Today in Rio de Janeiro, the Nuclear Energy Institute and the Brazilian Association for the Development of Nuclear Activities (ABDAN) signed a memorandum of understanding during bilateral talks between the U.S. and Brazil.
Today Energy Northwest unveiled a new study that lays out a path to reliably achieve 100 percent carbon-free energy by 2045 through clean resources like wind, solar and nuclear energy.
It is a tremendous honor for the United States to host the 2021 IAEA Nuclear Energy Ministerial. As the birthplace of the this extraordinary technology that powers the world with reliable, carbon-free electricity, we proudly welcome officials from around the world.
A renewable portfolio standard is inherently valuable for environmental goals, because it brings more zero-carbon electricity onto the grid. A clean energy standard focuses on a broader goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

On Jan. 9, BlackRock Inc.—a global investment firm that manages nearly $7 trillion dollars in assets—joined an investment pact focused on reducing carbon emissions, Climate Action 100+. With BlackRock’s commitment, Climate Action 100+ represents more than $41 trillion dollars in investments. That’s a lot of capital and another influential name committed to protecting the climate.

2019 was a big year for nuclear energy, from significant bipartisan support for nuclear innovation, to state policy actions, to Congress funding nuclear energy programs at historic levels. Before 2020 gets old enough for us to forget our New Year’s resolutions, let’s take a look at the top stories you read and shared the most in 2019.
In 2020, we can expect to see a great deal of attention on policy proposals to reduce carbon emissions. States and utilities have already begun to map out where we need to go and including nuclear as part of the solution will help to get us there.
Melanie Nakagawa, head of climate initiative at investment firm Princeville Capital, joins Monica Trauzzi at Shilling Canning Company in D.C.’s Navy Yard neighborhood in this episode of “Off the Menu.”
If the world is going to reach net zero, nuclear power reactors must be in the picture. Clean, reliable, affordable nuclear makes an excellent partner to wind turbines, solar panels, and energy storage.
Nuclear energy companies that export their technology abroad just achieved a major win with the reauthorization of the Export-Import Bank for seven years. Congress approved the authorization as part of H.R. 1865, the Consolidated Domestic and International Assistance Bill of 2020.
