The Wise Report

The US Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works (EPW) has approved the bipartisan Bill that includes a yearly program for a national strategic uranium reserve. EPW Senate committee chairperson Senator John Barrasso stated on Thursday that the American Nuclear Infrastructure Act would promote US international leadership, preserve America's nuclear fuel supply chain, prevent more carbon emissions from entering the atmosphere, and protect economic, energy and national security. "The bipartisan Nuclear Infrastructure Act is broad reaching legislation, important for supporting the US nuclear fuel industry, national security and clean energy. The legislation will provide a clear path for implementation [...]

Texas Energy Profile

In case you didn't know the details: Texas leads the nation in energy production, primarily from crude oil and natural gas, providing more than one-fifth of U.S. domestically-produced energy.1 Second only to Alaska in total land area, Texas stretches about 800 miles at its widest points both east to west and north to south.2 Crude oil and natural gas fields are present across the entire state, and Coal (Lignite) is found in bands that outcrop across the eastern Texas coastal plain and in other coal-producing areas in the north-central and southwestern parts of the state.3,4 Texas also has abundant [...]
