Increased nuclear energy production legislation sent to Biden

Legislation from a North Carolina congressman with a goal to lower energy bills for Americans through increased nuclear energy production has passed the House of Representatives and the Senate.

It cleared the House of Representatives in February and now is included in the Fire Grants and Safety Act of 2023, a bipartisan, bicameral nuclear energy reform package.

Specifically, the legislation "Reduces barriers to entry for commercial developers of advanced nuclear reactor technology; provides regulatory certainty; and reduces bureaucratic red tape with applications for ANR development, implementation, and demonstration," a release from Hudson's office says.

"Increasing domestic production of affordable, clean energy will lower your energy bill, create American jobs, help reduce inflation, and make us safer in the world. It's good for the environment, too. I urge President Biden to put our energy security first and quickly sign this historic nuclear energy reform package into law," said the congressman.

Gov website, Biden touts building "a more resilient power grid and scales new clean energy technologies." Context is necessary on two fronts.

First, the Biden administration has given favor to those with a green agenda, such as alternative fuel vehicles.

Second, another point on his record is labeled "Lowering costs of families' everyday expenses" through the Inflation Reduction Act.
