Make critical mineral spending matter this time  

By Ashley Zumwalt-Forbes

The United States has a crucial opportunity to translate large-scale funding into critical mineral stockpiling and resilient supply chains—but only if Congress structures spending to create durable markets.

By Alan Riley

Despite recent discussions between Moscow and Washington over restarting the Nord Stream pipelines, legal, financial, and political hurdles make reopening them improbable. Multimillion dollar claims against Gazprom along with US stakes in the European LNG market are likely to severely limit support for Russian gas flows to the EU.

If Russian gas returns to Europe, it must go through Ukraine

By Sergiy Makogon

The resumption of Russian gas supplies to Europe as part of a potential cease-fire agreement in Ukraine is under discussion, but any such flows would need to transit through Ukraine rather than Nord Stream or other routes.

Sullivan in The Hill: No country is an energy island

The concept of “energy independence” is often touted in political rhetoric, but what is energy independence? It is when one’s energy system is independent. Simple as that. That means there are no imports or exports of fuels. There are no imports or exports of parts and supplies. All the transport infrastructure is made in one’s […]

The VTR will play a key role in the nuclear energy innovation ecosystem

By Suzanne Baker, Jennifer T. Gordon, Judi Greenwald, and Jackie Toth

Next-generation nuclear technologies hold the potential to bring US-led zero-carbon energy to international markets. But their development will be stymied without government support for the Versatile Test Reactor (VTR), whose budget was recently zeroed out. Congress still has opportunities to provide sufficient funding, and it must act on them.

India is key to US climate ambitions, and the Quad can help

By Reed Blakemore, David Yellen

India's massive demand for energy is projected to grow rapidly over the next several decades, and its current coal reliance will be difficult to break. But doing so is vital, both to global decarbonization and US geopolitical interests. The Quad can help provide the requisite security, investment, and support to help India undertake this challenge.
