ACC Action Celebrates the Passage of the ADVANCE Act
WASHINGTON – The American Conservation Coalition Action (ACC Action) celebrates the overwhelmingly bipartisan Senate passage of the ADVANCE Act.
The Accelerating Deployment of Versatile, Advanced Nuclear for Clean Energy (ADVANCE) Act bolsters the future of nuclear energy in the United States by speeding up permitting processes and providing resources to deploy next-generation nuclear technologies. This rare bipartisan moment in the 118th Congress is a massive win for clean energy advocates, like ACC Action’s nearly 50,000 members, across the county.
ACC Action proudly partnered with Miss America 2023 Grace Stanke last November to advocate for the ADVANCE Act and Nuclear Fuel Security Act on Capitol Hill. With the ADVANCE Act’s passage, both bills will become law since then.
ACC Action CEO Danielle Butcher Franz said: “By removing unnecessary barriers currently standing in the way of an American nuclear era, the ADVANCE Act paves the way for industry to maintain and build out our nuclear fleet. Clean, reliable, and safe, nuclear energy is a key component of our efforts to combat climate change and usher in a clean energy future.”
The ADVANCE Act is now headed to President Biden’s desk to become law.
