Clean energy innovation policy is further complicated by the current energy market environment in the U.S.-subsidies for fossil fuel production far outweigh those for low-carbon nuclear and renewables generation. Although there are presently efforts to limit federal involvement in energy R&amp;D to basic research, there are bipartisan and bicameral initiatives in Congress to maintain robust federal government support for clean energy innovation and facilitate public-private partnerships to ultimately bring these innovative technologies to market.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"document-view-image-frame clearfix\"><a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02735.JPG\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02735.JPG\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02743.JPG\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02743.JPG\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02749.JPG\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02749.JPG\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02750.JPG\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02750.JPG\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a> <a class=\"document-view-image\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02766.JPG\" data-lightbox=\"image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.thegabi.com\/upload\/_thumbs\/nuclear\/roundtable\/057\/DSC02766.JPG\" width=\"225\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 16, 2017 The rationale for an extensive federal role in energy innovation, particularly with respect to clean energy sources such as nuclear and renewables, largely stems from the premise [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3326,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[55,59,51,52],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-clean-energy-forum-and-seminars","category-congressional-briefing","category-new-and-renewable-energy","category-nuclear-energy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2685"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3979,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2685\/revisions\/3979"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/3326"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2685"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2685"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thegabi.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2685"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
