Fact: Nationally, as demand has increased over the last 10 years we have seen a decline in reliable capacity (gas, coal, oil, nuclear, hydro) by 5%. https://t.co/O6y6J6yqrd — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Grid operators around the country are warning us that we are retiring too many reliable power plants. MISO—the Midcontinent Independent System Operator—recently documented a decline in "accredited capacity" "due to thermal retirements" and increasing solar/wind. https://t.co/matoU7ar6d — PolitiTweet.org

Essential hearing 2: Electricity Emergency—How Shutdowns of Reliable Power Plants Threaten to Bring About a 3rd World Grid This hearing would discuss the decline of reliable electricity, its causes, and solutions. It could be held by: @HouseCommerce, @GOPoversight @NatResources — PolitiTweet.org

Another key reform: Congress should seriously consider removing nuclear energy regulation from the Federal government and leaving it to the states. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Key nuclear reforms: Banish the pseudoscientific "linear no-threshold" model from public agencies; Combine construction and operating licensing into a single process with a maximum of 2 years; Eliminate involvement of anti-development activists in the nuclear permitting process. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Neither new subsidies nor new government-funded research will solve the fundamental problem with nuclear: overregulation that amounts to criminalization. We need radical nuclear policy reform. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: The cost-effectiveness of nuclear energy has tragically declined. The time to create a new plant has increased from 4 years to several times that when it should have decreased due to improving technology. And prices have increased many times when they should have decreased. https://t.co/pWo5udEHRm — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Fact: Nuclear energy has limitless potential. It is the cleanest and safest form of energy ever devised. And nuclear had a proven track record of being able to provide low-cost, ultra-reliable electricity before hostile government policies made it near impossible. — PolitiTweet.org
Alex Epstein @AlexEpstein
Essential hearing 1: How to Decriminalize Nuclear and Unleash its Full Potential This hearing would discuss the stalled potential of nuclear energy, what has caused it, and how to fix it. It could be held by: @WaysandMeansGOP, @HouseCommerce, @GOPoversight, @TransportGOP — PolitiTweet.org

4 energy hearings the House should hold Republicans are promising a pro-energy agenda. Here are 4 essential topics they should take up: 1. Nuclear overregulation 2. Unreliable electricity 3. Lessons of Europe’s energy crisis 4. The "Inflation Reduction Act" disaster 🧵👇 — PolitiTweet.org

“[The ozone] rule sets ozone levels that many coal power plants can’t afford to comply with and will therefore have to shut down over. This deadly hit to the grid makes no sense; ozone levels are low throughout the US.” https://t.co/I9FKC0DCNP — PolitiTweet.org

In 1979 @nytimes called "The China Syndrome" a "fictional but realistic film." The film fantasized a US reactor meltdown could render an area "size of Pennsylvania permanently uninhabitable." As TMI would prove, a US reactor meltdown is unlikely to kill anyone. #Catastrophizing https://t.co/23nmjz5f39 — PolitiTweet.org

“we're seeing even the tiny little fractions of reducing fossil fuels in terms of people getting their way, it's already horrific, already threatening starvation, already making Europe afraid of the winter.” https://t.co/t2wq0o5KA6 — PolitiTweet.org

"The climate debate ignores the reasons we burn fossil fuels in the first place. Alex Epstein reminds us that rich countries may be able to treat green lifestyles as luxury fashion, but for much of the world reliable energy is a matter of life and death." - @peterthiel https://t.co/oWLA27Ibew — PolitiTweet.org
