Atlanta Journal-Constitution photojournalist Arvin Temkar claims, based on the 88-2 Senate vote on the ADVANCE Act, there is a “bipartisan consensus on nuclear power as an opportunity to keep pace with China on renewable energy.”
Temkar was parroting Lesley Jantarasami, who directs energy programs at the Bipartisan Policy Center, spoken at “The Nuclear Frontier: Securing America’s Energy Future,” hosted by The Hill and sponsored by The Nuclear Company.
Jantarasami said the near-unanimous vote on the Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy Act indicates “members of both parties are looking to build on decades of innovation and … create this new opportunity to build new gigawatt-scale clean energy facilities in the United States.”
