The Biden administration's new vehicle rules accelerate electrification just as artificial intelligence and manufacturing are spiking electricity demand.
How Nixon can secure our electricity grid from beyond the graveThe Biden administration’s new vehicle rules accelerate electrification just as artificial intelligence and manufacturing are spiking electricity demand. With utilities doubling their forecasts for new power demand in the next five years, ensuring grid stability will require much more power supply. Thankfully, President Richard Nixon laid out the blueprint for solving this problem with nuclear energy over 50 years ago.
By comparison, our situation today is almost idyllic. The United States is producing more oil and natural gas than ever, and more than any other country. Electric vehicles and solar panels are cheaper than ever to produce, and we are discovering new deposits of much-needed critical minerals for batteries right under America’s feet.
It’s not too late to capitalize on nuclear technology and launch a modern version of Project Independence. Revisiting an ambitious nuclear energy proposal would help the United States lean into upcoming technological advances, and it’s a power source with increasingly enthusiastic political will.
