“When I visited St. Johns, Arizona – population 3,417 – last month, I wasn’t just stopping in a quiet town on the edge of Apache County. I was visiting a community that could help unleash the next era of American energy. With the right investment, St. Johns could be home to one of the nation’s first small modular reactors, also known as SMRs, which are the next generation nuclear technology designed for safety, flexibility, and cost efficiency. But today, as our need for energy security grows, Congress is moving in the opposite direction by undermining bipartisan progress on nuclear power when we need it most. Even President Donald Trump’s administration has endorsed a nuclear ‘renaissance.’ So why are Republicans in Congress advancing legislation that would slash support for the very technologies he is championing?” (06/11/25)
