I'm not really sure how, but this thread misses the very basic point that the Fiscal Responsibility Act amended NEPA. Our paper anchors to those definitional changes โ€“ย never truly implemented in the last admin โ€“ giving agencies a way of interpreting and institutionalizing them.

President Trump has nominated new members to the TVA board. With a new board comes opportunities for the TVA to build new nuclear. But if we these industrial cathedrals, we need to finance them by raising the TVA's debt cap, which has been frozen since the 1970s.

I got to interview Joe Klecha over at The Nuclear Company about his work on the Vogtle build and what it takes to pull of megaprojects. We also discussed how TNC's recent deal with Palantir is going to unleash fleet-scale nuclear builds. Check it: nuclearbarbarians.com/p/no-sleep-tilโ€ฆ

I now appreciate how other countries must feel about our national politics after the intensity and duration with which Iโ€™ve been subjected to NYC municipal politics of late

๐Ÿ‘€ Speaking of things heating up! Rep. Josh Harderโ€™s letter to Congress is now public, calling for major permitting reforms in the highway bill! Letter boasts 21 signatories, more than 10 of whom are Democrats. This letter recommends serious reforms โ€” very exciting.

A tragicomic element of lefty academic โ€œabolishโ€ discourse is its fantasy that it will be them and not the bean counters that execute their plan. Like all people incapable of second order thinking, theyโ€™re always shocked when their departments close for good.
