I can speak a bit to what I have in mind to do. It’s too early to speak too much about how I intend to get those particular things passed but am looking into it.
I am studying the NEPA question, will hopefully have posts in a month or two after Manchin’s reforms are done trying to pass. There are a lot of options both for marginal reforms and for radical reimagining. Right now, as far as I can tell, no one has designed a outcome-based replacement that someone could even consider (as opposed to process based) and I am excited to get that papered over time, as well as looking in detail to what marginal changes would have the most real impact.
NRC is more straightforward in terms of what to do, you order them to approve plants if they’re safe, and do general permitting reforms, although details still matter. I am partial to ‘hold nuclear plants to only require they be much safer than other power plants’ although it’s still early. I do think that there will be far more opportunity here going forward due to the course of events.
