POLITICO Energy

A nuclear renaissance? Lawmakers say yes. Reality says maybe.


Listen Later

Republicans’ sweeping new tax law sparked partisan battles over nearly every energy source — except nuclear power. But the so-called nuclear renaissance lawmakers are counting on is still running into the same old problems. POLITICO’s Gloria Gonzalez breaks down why Congress is betting big on nuclear, and whether the technology can actually deliver. Plus, House Republicans on Monday proposed steep cuts to EPA’s budget, trimming almost a quarter of the agency's spending.
