    Inside the proposal that could reshape U.S. nuclear power
    2026/03/20
    The Nuclear Regulatory Commission is considering scrapping a decades-old radiation safety standard. It’s a move that would support the Trump administration’s push to expand nuclear power in the United States, but it would also raise key questions about public health risks and the industry’s standards. POLITICO’s AJ Camacho breaks down the proposal, where congressional lawmakers and the nuclear industry stand, and the potential public health concerns. Francisco "A.J." Camacho is a reporter for POLITICO’s E&E News. Stefan Todorovic is the video producer of POLITICO Energy. Nirmal Mulaikal is the co-host and executive producer of POLITICO Energy.

    2026/03/16
    Today, POLITICO Energy host Nirmal Mulaikal sits down for an extended interview with Jason Bordoff, the founding director of the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University and a former senior director for energy and climate change on the National Security Council during the Obama administration. They discuss why the war in the Middle East could — contrary to conventional wisdom — actually strengthen China’s energy dominance in the long-run, along with the conflict’s implications for Europe, the global clean energy transition, and whether there are historical precedents that might help explain what’s happening in the energy sector today.

    Why high oil prices may outlast the war in Iran
    2026/03/13
    Global oil prices have surged after the U.S. war with Iran, and they may not fall anytime soon even if the conflict ends quickly. POLITICO’s Scott Waldman explains why high oil prices could persist long after the fighting stops, presenting a political problem for President Donald Trump and the Republican party as voters focus on affordability issues in the run-up to the midterms. Plus, the Justice Department has sued California for effectively imposing an electric vehicle mandate, and the Energy Department announced it is opening up $1.9 billion in funding to help upgrade the U.S. power grid.

    Permitting reform is back. But can Congress actually pass it this time?
    2026/03/11
    Permitting reform negotiations on Capitol Hill may be gaining new momentum after weeks of stalled talks, and now the White House is stepping into the mix. POLITICO’s Kelsey Brugger breaks down why negotiations restarted now, how rising energy prices and electricity demand are raising the political stakes ahead of the midterms, and whether lawmakers can finally overcome years of failed attempts to pass a sweeping permitting deal. Plus, the Energy Information Administration sharply raised its forecasts for oil and gasoline prices for 2026, and a new report says that U.S. solar capacity is now expected to nearly triple by 2036.
