Chairman @Sen_JoeManchin & Ranking Member @SenJohnBarrasso just introduced the the Fission for the Future Act, bipartisan legislation that would support the commercial deployment of advanced nuclear reactors.
This bipartisan legislation would prioritize communities that have retiring coal or other fossil generating facilities & assist in the reutilization of sites to deploy advanced nuclear power plants, promoting job growth in economically depressed regions. energy.senate.gov/2021/12/manchi…
@EnergyDems @Sen_JoeManchin @SenJohnBarrasso Gentlemen, you have it WRONG. The correct act is the FUSION for the Future Act! If you actually had placed a scientist and energy expert as Secretary of Energy versus another ex-governor with NO real knowledge @SecGranholm ... perhaps the country could be led down a proper path!
@EnergyDems @Sen_JoeManchin @SenJohnBarrasso Nuclear reactors are safer than they use to be but I think that people still remember Chernobyl and 3 mile island and that stigma may be hard to overcome. But it is a very clean form of energy
@EnergyDems @Sen_JoeManchin @SenJohnBarrasso FANTASTIC! America NEEDS to go back to energy independence.
