[{"type":"text","content":"\nConstellation senior leader will address company’s role in meeting America’s climate goals, including extending life of our nuclear fleet, producing carbon-free hydrogen to decarbonize other sectors of the economy and helping companies meet their climate goals with carbon-free resources in every hour of every day\n\n\n BALTIMORE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--\nConstellation (Nasdaq: CEG), the nation’s largest producer of carbon-free energy, will lay out a strategy for how nuclear energy combined with other clean technologies can achieve America’s climate goals during Climate Week NYC, which brings together climate leaders from around the world for the largest annual climate event of its kind. In a pair of panel discussions, David Brown, Constellation’s senior vice president of Federal Government Affairs & Public Policy, will explain how matching customer demand for electricity with clean energy in every hour of every day is essential to meeting our nation’s climate goals. He will also discuss how the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 and other climate policies are driving investment in clean energy technologies, such as carbon-free hydrogen and existing and advanced nuclear energy, among others. In addition, the discussion will explore roadblocks to achieving the goals laid out in the IRA and other U.S. climate policies, and how policymakers can address them.\n\n\n“Nuclear energy is key to solving the climate crisis,” Brown said. “The path to zero emissions is possible today if we focus on getting the policies right and removing roadblocks to deploying carbon-free resources and building a robust clean hydrogen infrastructure. We are demonstrating the possible in Constellation’s own operations, starting with our work to prove the viability of clean hydrogen, extend the life and output of our reliable clean-energy nuclear fleet, and provide companies with the technology to meet their electricity needs with carbon-free resources in every hour of every day. These and other clean technologies are scalable and affordable if policymakers create the right incentives and hold industry accountable.”\n\n\nBrown will be part of a Sept. 19 panel discussion titled “Cleantech: Silver Bullet or red herring on net-zero?” A live stream of the event is available here. Prior to that, Brown will take part in a side-event hosted by the Atlantic Council foc...
