referenceThe May 2018 report by the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions concludes that targeted state policies, specifically zero emission credit (ZEC) programs, are the best option for supporting existing distressed nuclear reactors.
perspectiveThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) asserts that preserving the existing U.S. nuclear reactor fleet is a critical element in the transition to a low-carbon future because these units are too large and clean to be replaced quickly.
perspectiveThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) advocates for energy policies that preserve existing nuclear power, expand renewables, promote advanced zero-emission technologies, and implement aggressive energy savings targets to reach 100 percent clean energy by mid-century.
perspectiveThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) has revised its position on nuclear energy from neutral to viewing the preservation of existing zero-emission resources, including nuclear, as an irreplaceable foundation for decarbonization.
perspectiveThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) advocates for a national market-based program as the best long-term approach to encourage a lower-carbon economy and achieve necessary emission reductions.
referenceThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) conducted reviews of low-carbon electricity pathways in 2014 and 2018, which concluded that achieving significant greenhouse gas emission reductions would be severely handicapped if zero-emissions from nuclear power had to be compensated for rather than built upon.
claimThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) recommends that states with existing nuclear capacity take steps to prevent the premature retirement of these facilities while federal, regional, and state policies are developed to support clean energy technologies like renewables, energy efficiency, energy storage, advanced nuclear, and fossil fuel-fired electricity using carbon capture and storage.
referenceThe Center for Climate and Energy Solutions (C2ES) is the successor organization to the Pew Center on Global Climate Change, which was founded in 1998.
