Congressional Briefing – Global America Business Institute

Interest regarding nuclear energy issues in the congressional community is rising, but perspectives on nuclear technology in Capitol Hill have traditionally been unfavorable. However, as climate change becomes a more salient issue, nuclear power is gaining more support. To help facilitate a deeper understanding of nuclear energy, GABI hosts a series of public events on Capitol Hill with government officials, Congressional staff, experts, and other interested individuals.
