Critical Capital: Senator Tillis' case for "all-of-the-above" energy

What this episode covers

Senator Thom Tillis, a North Carolina Republican, argues for an 'all-of-the-above' energy strategy to overcome partisan whiplash and ensure durable policy for renewables, natural gas, and nuclear. He highlights the economic damage caused by abrupt project cancellations, such as the Orsted wind farm and XL pipeline, which created stranded costs and spiked utility rates. Tillis also discusses the need for domestic critical mineral extraction, citing a lithium project in North Carolina, and advocates for a light-touch, standards-based regulatory framework for AI to avoid stifling innovation while competing with China.
