US Funding for Small Reactors

In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Stuart Turley discusses several key topics: the U.S. has opened applications for $900 million in funding for small nuclear reactors, emphasizing the need for increased nuclear power to combat climate change despite regulatory challenges. The UK is investing £21.7 billion in carbon capture technology, but experts question its effectiveness amid rising energy prices. Additionally, M&A activity in the U.S. shale patch has declined to $12 billion, with major players shifting from buyers to sellers. Finally, the IEA suggests that we are approaching an "age of electricity" as fossil fuel demand peaks, though Turley critiques the agency's credibility and the current viability of green energy solutions.
