John Curtis says prediction markets undermine Utah\u2019s anti-gambling laws<\/a><\/p>\n<p>That was the heady question tackled Friday by Utah Gov. Spencer Cox, several Trump administration officials, members of Utah\u2019s congressional delegation, local lawmakers and a massive hall filled with policymakers, builders, academics and industry leaders all gathered under one big roof in Park City.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s Operation GigaWatt Summit was staged, according to sponsors, to help author a \u201cnational playbook\u201d for long-term energy abundance in a national environment of strength and prosperity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful,\u201d said event host Cox in his welcome remarks, \u201cto be in a room of builders. People with ambition and ethical behavior. People who care about this country and want to make it better \u2014 not just for yourselves, but for your neighbors and the generations that will come after us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The daylong gathering at Park City\u2019s Grand Hyatt Deer Valley Hotel, included panel discussions and speeches from Cox, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Ho K. Nieh, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, and Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy.<\/p>\n<p>The day\u2019s far-ranging discussion points included accelerating deployment of nuclear energy and emerging technologies across the country, modernizing grids, critical minerals, building infrastructure to accommodate growth \u2014 and championing policies to support such building.<\/p>\n<h3>Beware of scarcity mindsets<\/h3>\n<p>During his opening keynote address, Cox signaled that Friday\u2019s energy conference would be anchored in optimism and hope. He warned against detrimental \u201cscarcity mindset.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe live in an age of miracles,\u201d he said. \u201cIt feels like every single day, I see a headline and read a story about some incredible breakthrough that can transform our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor said the country requires a return to both ambition and virtue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need both of those things,\u201d said Cox. \u201cThe only thing worse than a scarcity of energy is a scarcity of ambition. And for too long, our country has been telling people that ambition is bad. That you shouldn\u2019t be trying to do well to get ahead. That\u2019s not who we are. That\u2019s not what made us a country.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>But such ambition, added Cox, must be paired with virtue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe need to combine those two things,\u201d he said. \u201cThe pursuit of excellence in ambition and the pursuit of excellence in virtue. And we can do that because we\u2019ve done it before. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what made this the greatest country in the history of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Calls to close nuclear reactor \u2018strategic gap\u2019 with China<\/h3>\n<p>In his discussion with Nieh, Cox said the country is experiencing something of a nuclear power renaissance.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner pointed to the bipartisan ADVANCE Act which, he said, \u201creally laid the groundwork and set the direction for more predictable and efficient regulation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That was followed by President Donald Trump\u2019s executive order last year to reform the Nuclear Regulatory Committee.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat executive order, in my view, took the path of incremental change that the NRC was on \u2014 and elevated it to the most consequential moment for the NRC in 50 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today, added Nieh, there\u2019s unprecedented support for nuclear energy rights and security. \u201cThe conditions could not be more ideal for the United States to lead the world in nuclear energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So what\u2019s different today, Nieh asked, than in decades past? \u201cWe\u2019re working smarter, not harder,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioner noted a \u201cstrategic gap\u201d in nuclear reactors existing between the United States and China. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is a strategic gap that America wants to close,\u201d he said. \u201cThere are countries now, including our allies, that are making decisions on reactor technology markets. If America can\u2019t deliver, they\u2019re going to buy foreign reactors and accept the geopolitical leverage that they carry with them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nieh said he\u2019s enthused by the shift in mindset and attitude toward nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>He called for \u201cbig scale\u201d commercial projects while saluting the industry\u2019s forward-thinking efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNuclear is going to be part of the next 250 years for America,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd what I\u2019d like to let (others) know is that there is a new NRC. We are not going to be an impediment to the deployment of nuclear power in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>This \u201cnew NRC,\u201d Nieh added, enables the safe use of nuclear technologies and moving forward.<\/p>\n<h3>Energy Secretary Wright: \u2018We\u2019re going to quadruple our nuclear capacity\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>In his discussion with Cox, Wright spoke of energy being the key to human flourishing. The progress of civilization \u2014 and people\u2019s quality of life \u2014 is intimately tied to their respective energy systems<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy is this catalyst to just change societies,\u201d he said, adding that a \u201clife quality\u201d as fundamental as human longevity is linked to a person\u2019s access to energy.<\/p>\n<p>Cox asserted that the country is moving beyond the scarcity mindset \u201cthat has really dominated the last 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Responded Wright: \u201cWe\u2019re going to put the nonsense of the last couple of generations behind us and just move forward \u2014 lean in, be optimistic and believe in our futures &#8230; there\u2019s never been a better time to be alive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wright spoke of the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to advance energy resources \u2014 calling them \u201cvery bold goals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to quadruple our nuclear capacity in the next 25 years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Cox continued his discussion by asking Wright about energy and affordability.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe states that lean in, demand growth, build new tech, and (more efficiently) use existing infrastructure \u2014 those are the states that are going to stop the rise in electricity prices and energy and push them down,\u201d said Wright.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe states that stay in the \u2018non-abundance\u2019 and the scarcity\/fear-mongering mode, they\u2019re going to continue, sadly, to see rising electricity prices. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd hopefully that\u2019s going to become so politically unpopular, that even they are going to have to move towards abundance.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s critical, Wright added, to re-embrace the country\u2019s historic founding ideas when approaching energy\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re going to embrace an agenda that best enables life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet the marketplace and people decide that. The government should not be deciding that; controlling the economy and making decisions for you. Let the American people be free and pursue life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Vivek Ramaswamy: Choosing \u2018winning over whining\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>A biotech entrepreneur and Republican candidate for governor of Ohio, Ramaswamy focused his lunchtime keynote on the future of nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>Such a future doubles as a national opportunity, he said. \u201cI view it as an ascension to the future of American life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Major changes in the Energy Department and the NRC are removing manmade obstacles, he said. \u201cOne of the things that I ran on for U.S. president, and President Trump ran on, was liberating U.S. energy, including nuclear energy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Natural obstacles \u2014 such as uranium enrichment capacity \u2014 are trickier to hurdle.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf we are to be able to meet the artificial intelligence demand through the production of energy, including through nuclear energy, we have to look at whether or not we have enough capacity to produce enough enriched uranium, particularly for nuclear reactors,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd that\u2019s going to be something that we work on as a country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, he added, the Energy Department is \u201claser focused\u201d on that issue.<\/p>\n<p>Reactors will also have to be financially sustainable, added Ramaswamy. <\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the variable of public acceptance. \u201cThis is where I think leaders both at the state and federal level can and must make a difference,\u201d said Ramaswamy. <\/p>\n<p>And what about convincing the public of the importance of adopting nuclear energy? <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, the good news is it\u2019s already slowly happening,\u201d said Ramaswamy. \u201cRecent polling over the last couple of years show it has dramatically changed relative to where it was even 10 or 20 years ago. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=547\">A Ugandan Latter-day Saint who had a \u2018gift of talking people out of anger\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd the public, I think, is open to the idea \u2014 backed by facts \u2014 that nuclear reactors are, as measured by data, the safest form of energy production that has ever been known to mankind.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, he said, the future must be grounded in truth. Legitimate safety objections should always be taken into account.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo long as we are grounded in the facts and we are actually addressing the objections \u2014 not steamrolling them, but addressing them on the merits \u2014 then I think we are on the side of truth when we stand for the expansion of nuclear energy in the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The results, he added, will be lower energy costs across the country.<\/p>\n<p>On the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, he concluded, Americans have an opportunity that the nation\u2019s founding father embodied: Choosing expansion over restriction. Winning over whining. And victory over victimhood.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I believe that our embrace of nuclear energy in the last 18 months is hopefully a leading indicator of what is possible as America leads the world \u2014 not only in the era of artificial intelligence, not only in quantum computing \u2014 but empowering all of the sectors of the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd it starts with the production of energy \u2014 including nuclear energy.\u201d <\/p>\n<h3>Championing civilian nuclear power<\/h3>\n<p>Trump\u2019s chief science and technology adviser, Michael Kratsios, wrapped up the day\u2019s events by noting it\u2019s been a year since the president signed a series of executive orders on nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump made the most transformational decision for civil nuclear power since President Eisenhower announced \u2018Atoms for Peace\u2019 in 1953.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That heralded the first heyday of American nuclear energy, said Kratsios. Within two decades, the country had 30 nuclear power plants in operation and 5,500 under construction.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmericans looked forward to a future of nuclear trains, planes, and flying automobiles,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat momentum, unfortunately, did not last. Prior to President Trump\u2019s policies, we weren\u2019t testing new reactors. We were shutting perfectly good ones down. We were totally dependent on other countries for our fuel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All that\u2019s changed, said Kratsios.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reforms and actions these orders call for are not merely an evolution in American energy infrastructure,\u201d he said. \u201cThey are bringing about a revolution for American power. The successes of the last year will be foundations for a century of innovation. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne year ago tomorrow was a starting shot and a renewed race to a brighter future. Old inertia has been reversed. This industry now has new momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kratsios added more domestic uranium was produced last year than the previous six years combined.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMore than $2.5 billion has been invested in domestic uranium enrichment alone. And we\u2019re making progress in American nuclear exports and increased nuclear cooperation with our partners, including backing for American construction reactors to allied countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nuclear energy, he noted, is no longer viewed primarily as a liability to be managed \u2014 \u201cbut once again is a powerful tool for enhancing our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kratsios asserted that civilian nuclear power is key to rebuilding the nation\u2019s industrial base \u2014 including drone technology and rocket ships.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPresident Trump\u2019s vision for adding nuclear power to the grid includes restarting shutdown reactors and increasing power production by the country\u2019s existing fleet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Today\u2019s civilian nuclear program, he concluded, \u201cwill give ourselves, give our children and our children\u2019s children the energy necessary to sustain and build this great nation for the next 250 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>EPA chief Zeldin: Protecting environments, while growing economies<\/h3>\n<p>Gov. Cox\u2019s busy day also included a discussion with EPA leader Zeldin about that latter\u2019s approach as a key steward of the nation\u2019s natural resources.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is not a binary choice where you have to choose to either protect the environment or grow the economy,\u201d Zeldin said. \u201cWe can, should and must choose both. That is absolutely an option for us \u2014 and we\u2019re proving it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Voters in the most recent presidential election signaled their support for agencies \u201capplying common sense and heeding economic demands,\u201d he said. And that includes how the EPA operates.<\/p>\n<p>Cox spoke of Trump\u2019s interest in restoring the Great Salt Lake. \u201cWe know we can accomplish that. These are the types of \u2018dream big\u2019, \u2018believe big\u2019 and \u2018do big\u2019 projects that are making a difference in our country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The governor asked Zeldin about his vision for the EPA \u2014 and for the country in a year when Americans are celebrating the nation\u2019s 250th birthday.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that what\u2019s most enduring is that we have people who are running an agency like the EPA who can just follow the law,\u201d he answered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t try to get creative in claiming other laws to impose that will of that unelected head of a bureaucracy to slow things down and make things more difficult, and torture companies and make it harder for you all to survive and thrive and prosper.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHopefully, a very simple approach that we\u2019re taking to this job ends up being the most enduring piece of it for a very long time to come.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Critical minerals = mission critical<\/h3>\n<p>Given Cox\u2019s well-established commitment to maximizing critical mineral opportunities in Utah, it\u2019s no surprise the issue found a spot in Friday\u2019s energy event.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cpower session\u201d that included U.S. Sen. John Curtis, R-Utah, and Utah Senate President Stuart Adams focused on the \u201cmission critical\u201d mineral essential for American energy dominance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNothing gets built without minerals,\u201d said Adams. <\/p>\n<p>Policy makers can issue permits and industry leaders can provide financing. But without critical minerals such as magnesium, uranium, potash, copper and lithium, little can be done.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCritical minerals are not just another issue,\u201d said Adams. \u201cThey are the foundation underneath every major strategic objective America has. In many ways, they are the foundation for the free world. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf the future of artificial intelligence depends on energy, the future of energy depends on critical minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the United States, he added, is \u201cdangerously dependent on a single adversarial nation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe countries that control the next century will not just be the ones that innovate, they will be the ones that have the resources to build \u2014 to build energy, to build infrastructure, to build supply chains and secure the minerals required to sustain them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmerica needs more critical minerals.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Curtis referenced the 1970s and 1980s when \u201can outside country held us hostage for energy.\u201d The U.S. then made a commitment to be energy, not knowing entirely how to do it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are in that exact same position, and we\u2019ve allowed ourselves to get there, with critical minerals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s become a national security issue, he added. Adversaries are not only mining most of the world\u2019s critical minerals, they are also doing most of the mineral processing. <\/p>\n<p>Curtis also utilized the session to tout nuclear energy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is no way we can get to our energy future without hundreds of nuclear capabilities around the country, perhaps even thousands,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd if we\u2019re dependent upon China and Russia, that shuts down everything. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s what keeps me up.<\/p>\n<p>Friday\u2019s \u201cpower sessions\u201d also included deep dive examinations into Utah\u2019s nuclear playbook, the future\u2019s energy workforce and a discussion on scaling the modern energy grid featuring Utah House Speaker Mike Schultz.<\/p>\n<p>University of Utah President Taylor Randall also moderated a discussion on geothermal energy.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/americanmovershub.com\/?p=545\">High school baseball: American Fork edges out Skyridge in Game 1 of 6A championship<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Operation Gigawatt Summit brought together Utah Gov.
