When
you listen closely to debates over California climate change policy, it
becomes clear that the disagreements are along two dimensions: what is
the best approach to meeting the state’s goals and what exactly are
those goals. I think the differences are increasingly about different
goals, rather than about different methods of achieving those goals.

Forecasts
from the Energy Information Administration have consistently
underestimated the growth of renewable energy development in the United
States, a trend that persisted through 2016.

In
its dogged pursuit of the Southern Gas Corridor, the European
Commission is shutting its eyes to the human rights record of the
Azerbaijani regime, writes Anna Roggenbuck, policy officer at CEE
Bankwatch Network. According to Roggenbuck, there is no justification
for this massive gas pipeline project, since it is also bad for the
climate and, as recent events show, will not even help reduce Europe’s
dependency on Russian gas.

If
a U.S.-based researcher or reactor designer needs to irradiate fuel or
material with fast neutrons for testing, their current options are
extremely limited. No domestic test facility can provide enough fast
neutrons to do anything more than slowly irradiate a small quantity of
tiny samples.

Utilities
and regulators are not typically known for innovation. Instead, they
tend to focus their efforts and attention on reliability and cost
effectiveness. So, when Rob Powelson, new president of the National
Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) kicked off his
first national meeting under the theme “Infrastructure, Innovation and
Investment,” I was intrigued.

In
Washington, DC, the Third Way, a think tank, hosted a meeting of some
of the country’s best thinkers, leaders, funders, and doers in the field
of development advanced reactors. Cheerleading is helpful, but the
proof will be in federal funding for reactor R&D and regulatory
reform at the NRC.

U.S.
crude oil imports from Saudi Arabia and Iraq, two of the United States’
main sources for imported crude oil, have risen since reaching
relatively low points in 2014 and 2015. On a combined basis, crude oil
imports from these countries are the highest since late 2012.
