Innovation
Continued innovation will not only develop the next generation of affordable technologies needed to rapidly reduce, capture, and store greenhouse gas emissions, but also continue to grow a clean energy economy that already supports millions of clean energy jobs across the United States.
In tandem with the release of CRES Forum’s latest white paper, The Conservative Case for Next Generation Geothermal Energy, our team partnered with Project InnerSpace to host a daylong event with featured speakers including Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Sen. John Curtis (R-Utah), Reps. Randy Weber (R-Texas) and August Pfluger (R-Texas), as well as industry leaders. […]
CRES Forum recently hosted a briefing to educate Republican Congressional staff on the potential of hydrogen as a cornerstone of American energy innovation, as well as on the key role of federal incentives in deploying this versatile energy resource to enable American energy dominance. The event kicked off with welcoming remarks from CRES President […]
Executive Summary America’s next energy revolution is beneath our feet. Geothermal energy is a 24/7, reliable power source that strengthens the grid, reduces costs, and enhances U.S. energy independence. Built on decades of American drilling expertise, next-generation geothermal leverages advances in hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling, and subsurface engineering to unlock vast domestic energy reserves—without reliance […]
Introduction Nuclear energy provides reliable, zero-emissions electricity and has the highest capacity factor of any power-generation source. In 2023, nuclear plants in the United States operated at full capacity more than 93 percent of the time. Nuclear assets run 24/7, 365 days a year, providing clean, abundant and safe baseload power. In the U.S., demand […]
Artificial intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing industries worldwide, and energy is no exception. With its ability to optimize grid management, enhance equipment reliability and accelerate innovation, AI promises a more efficient, sustainable and secure energy future. However, America’s ability to maintain its leadership in this transformative field is at risk. China, our primary geopolitical rival, is […]
CRES Forum hosted the sixth and final CRES Academy session of 2024, “Nuclear 101: The Role of Nuclear Technologies in Powering the Future.” The session explored the vital importance of nuclear assets for the future of energy in the U.S., including the different regulatory environments that nuclear utilities operate in, the deployment challenges that nuclear […]
National Clean Energy Week (NCEW) 2024 brought together policymakers, industry leaders and advocates to discuss the future of clean energy in the U.S. and abroad. The NCEW Policymakers Symposium featured two full days of in-person programming at the Conrad in Washington, D.C. With a robust lineup of panels, congressional speakers, and thought-provoking discussions, NCEW […]
Constellation Energy announced the reopening of the Three Mile Island Unit 1, a reactor that was prematurely decommissioned in 2019 due to economic conditions. When the unit shuttered, Pennsylvania lost a major source of clean energy generation. To meet the projected energy needs of not only the United States, but the world, we need more […]
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) recently announced a massive $2.2 billion investment in the nation’s electric grid, targeting eight projects across 18 states. This investment will bolster the grid against extreme weather events, reduce energy costs for consumers and increase grid capacity. Funded by the bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s Grid Resilience and […]
Introduction The United States is experiencing a historic period of load growth and resource demand led by new manufacturing, industrial facilities and data centers. In this context, carbon capture utilization and storage (CCUS) technologies are emerging as a crucial solution – and one of the most cost-effective – to address the challenge of meeting increased […]
