Good Energy Collective is a policy research organization. We're building the progressive case for nuclear energy as an essential part of the broader climate change agenda and working to align the clean energy space with environmental justice and sustainability goals.

A world where all communities have equitable access to clean energy.

Goal One: Establish a social science agenda for nuclear energy with the goal of achieving more equitable adoption of advanced reactors.

Goal Two: Include advanced nuclear energy in all climate policies and, where appropriate, in industrial planning and public works programs.

Goal Three: Provide funding and a mandate for the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to continue to streamline and expedite licensing for advanced reactors.

In 2022, a junior staffer attended the International Youth Nuclear Congress (IYNC) in Japan. IYNC is held every two years. It is designed to connect those in the nuclear field from across the world to discuss all things nuclear, and facilitate knowledge sharing and transfer across borders and generations. They wrote this post describing their experiences: https://www.goodenergycollective.org/policy/good-energy-reflects-international-youth-nuclear-congress-2022

We had to adapt to the external change of the U.S. House of Representatives changing from a Democratic majority to a Republican majority for the first time in our nonprofit's history. We saw that this change was forecasted and worked to establish and bolster relationships with GOP offices, developed an actionable list of areas that we could successfully work with some GOP offices on, and expanded our coalition outreach efforts so that we could be in touch with more nuclear energy advocates in D.C.
