WASHINGTON – Today, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) President and CEO Heather Reams issued the following statement praising the announcement by the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Energy Dominance Financing (EDF) to invest $17.5 billion in Nuclear Supply Chain Loans to support the deployment of ten large-scale commercial nuclear reactors.
“Nuclear power is the cornerstone of America’s energy future, and no administration has moved more aggressively to support the industry than President Trump’s. This investment will play a critical role in scaling nuclear resources to meet growing electricity demand and ensure the United States remains an energy leader on the global stage,” said Heather Reams, President and CEO of Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions. “There is growing bipartisan recognition that if the goal is reliable, affordable and zero-emissions energy at scale, nuclear has to be a major part of the solution — particularly as innovation, AI and advanced manufacturing continue to surge.”
