"You may be surprised to learn electricity only accounts for 21 percent of the world's energy consumption. Fossil fuels and the rest all play their part to make the world go around, but their role is likely to diminish no matter what happens. The International Energy Agency believes electricity's share of global energy consumption is going to in the next decade alone."
"The US has certainly spent the year opening doors to dramatically increase domestic energy production. Part of that has to give the signal that the US will embrace nuclear power in ways it hasn't for generations. This January, an executive order titled Unleashing American Energy included an instruction for the government to eliminate rules and regulations related to power generation."
Electricity accounts for only 21 percent of global energy consumption, and that share is projected to grow substantially in the next decade. Electrification, electric vehicles, data centers and artificial intelligence are driving dramatic increases in required power generation, transmission and storage capacity, yet current infrastructure and supply are insufficient. The United States has opened pathways to expand domestic energy production and is signaling renewed embrace of nuclear power through executive actions that reduce regulatory barriers and promote advanced nuclear technologies. Major technology companies are securing long-term nuclear power contracts and projects are receiving federal loan support.
