Occurrences
The bill strengthens America’s energy security by prioritizing research and development in advanced nuclear and other baseload energy sources, securing critical domestic supply chains, and fully funding programs that help deliver affordable energy for the American people.
Evidence
The House Appropriations Committee approved Fleischmann's FY27 Energy and Water bill. The release says it keeps modernizing the nuclear deterrent and Nuclear Navy, prioritizes advanced nuclear and other baseload energy sources, and funds programs that help deliver affordable energy.
In a House hearing, Fleischmann said he is deeply involved in modernizing the nation's nuclear deterrent and described himself as one of Congress's strongest supporters of nuclear power, while pressing witnesses on microreactors and advanced reactors.
Assessments
Fleischmann has continued to materially advance the nuclear and energy-security parts of the promise during the same federal House term, including committee approval of his FY27 Energy and Water bill and public appropriations-hearing work on advanced reactors and nuclear power. However, the evidence shows ongoing legislative effort and committee action rather than a completed federal outcome such as enacted all-of-the-above energy-independence legislation or achieved energy independence, so this is partial rather than fully delivered.
