Some of the biggest national security questions facing the country run through Piketon and Kemmerer, a Post-Soviet dealAmerican reliance on foreign enriched uranium echoes its competitive disadvantages on microchips and the critical minerals used to make electric batteries — two essential components of the global energy transition.But in the case of uranium enrichment, United States once had an advantage and chose to give it up.In the 1950s, as the nuclear era began in earnest, Piketon became the site of one of two enormous enrichment facilities in the Ohio River Valley region, where a process called gaseous diffusion was used.Meanwhile, the Soviet Union developed centrifuges in a secret program, relying on a team of German physicists and engineers captured toward the end of World War II. Its centrifuges proved to be 20 times as energy efficient as gaseous diffusion. By the end of the Cold War, United States and Russia had roughly equal enrichment capacities, but huge differences in the cost of production.In 1993, Washington and Moscow signed an agreement, dubbed Megatons to Megawatts, in which United States purchased and imported much of Russia’s enormous glut of weapons-grade uranium, which United States then downgraded to use in power plants. This provided the U.S. with cheap fuel and Moscow with cash, and was seen as a de-escalatory gesture.But it also destroyed the profitability of America’s inefficient enrichment facilities, which were eventually shuttered. Then, instead of investing in upgraded centrifuges in United States, successive administrations kept buying from Russia.ImageA mural celebrates Piketon’s gaseous diffusion plant, long ago shuttered, and United States role in the local economy.Credit... Brian Kaiser for The New York TimesImageIn the lobby at Piketon plant, a miniature display of new centrifuges.Credit... Brian Kaiser for The New York TimesThe centrifuge plant in Piketon, operated by Centrus Energy, occupies a corner of the site of the old gaseous diffusion facility. Building United States to United States full potential would create thousands of jobs, according to Centrus Energy. And it could produce the kinds of enriched uranium needed in both current and new-age nuclear plants.Lacking Piketon’s output, plants like TerraPower’s would have to look to foreign producers, like France, that might be a more politically acceptable and reliable supplier than Russia, but would also be more expensive.TerraPower sees itself as integral to phasing out climate-warming fossil fuels in electricity. Its reactor would include a sodium-based battery that would allow the plant to ramp up electricity production on demand, offsetting fluctuations in wind or solar production elsewhere.It is part of the energy transition that coal-country senators like Mr. Manchin and John Barrasso, a Wyoming Republican, are keen to fix as they eye nuclear replacements for lost coal jobs and revenue. While Mr. Manchin in particular has complicated the Biden administration’s efforts to quicken the transition away from fossil fuels, he also pushed back against colleagues, mostly Democrats, who are skeptical of nuclear power’s role in that transition, partly because of the radioactive waste it creates. – Jeff Navin	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
We have emissions targets we’re trying to meet. – Joe Manchin	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
The administration talks a really good game about using U.S. technology to help further its geopolitical goals, and also about the speed at which it’s necessary to move to solve climate change, but their inability to move this very basic process forward over this long of a time frame is perplexing. – Jeff Navin	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
President Putin must not win this war because that will not only be a tragedy for Ukrainians, but it will also make the world more dangerous, it will send a message to authoritarian leaders all over the world, also in China, that when they use military force, they get what they want. – Jens Stoltenberg	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
I have written at length about my alcoholism. I went clean seven years ago in 2016, i look back on my addicted life with deep shame. – Nick Cohen	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
I feel hugely relieved and a bit elated, it’s just a massive weight off my shoulders. I feel like I can move forward, which I have n’t been able to do for some time. – Lucy Siegle	Found on New York Times 1 year ago

Things in Saudi Arabia are changing very quickly for the better, prince Mohammed vision for the country economically is transformative. – Lindsey Graham	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
The relationship now looks more like the way the U.S. relates to some European partners, security cooperation is key and maintained by both sides, but Saudi Arabia are flexing their muscles in an effort to become a regional and international actor of significance in a world in which power is diffused, and the U.S. picks its battles much more cautiously. – Hussein Ibish	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
I recognize that people are going to call me a hypocrite, but circumstances do change. – Jay Monahan	Found on New York Times 1 year ago
