Senate Passes Advance Act to Boost Nuclear Industry
Jun 26, 2024, 04:48 PM
Lawmakers have taken historic action on clean energy by passing a bill to reinvigorate the nuclear industry. The bill, supported by President Biden and 88 senators, did not receive a single vote against it from Republicans. The U.S. Senate passes the legislation, which aims to speed up the deployment of advanced nuclear technologies, setting the stage for an American nuclear power revolution. The passage of the Advance Act is seen as a significant step towards more efficient development and deployment of nuclear technology, which is considered a clean and reliable energy source. This move is also part of a broader effort to enhance America's economic prosperity and national security by expanding nuclear energy and next-generation energy technologies. The nuclear industry's growth is also viewed as a critical component of the U.S. strategy to increase clean energy supplies and compete geopolitically with Russia.
