New NARUC-DOE Nuclear Energy Partnership Enables State Energy Regulators to Explore Key Nuclear Power Issues
WASHINGTON – The National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners has launched a new five-year Nuclear Energy Partnership with support from the U.S. Department of Energy. Through this educational partnership, NARUC will provide opportunities for state public service commissioners and commission staff to better understand barriers and possibilities related to the U.S. nuclear fleet, the nation’s largest source of zero-carbon power. In 2020, 94 nuclear reactors produced approximately 2...
New ICC framework sidelines local government participation in energy code development
NBI strongly opposes changes, which make action on climate “non-mandatory” March 5, 2021--The International Code Council (ICC) announced today a new framework that changes the essential nature of the International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) development process from a model energy code to a standard. The change, described in vague terms in the ICC material, is impactful because it reduces the opportunity for cities and states to shape future versions of the IECC, even though they must subs...
Accelerating exploration for geothermal energy with UAV magnetometry conducted in North-Central Nevada
