In Pennsylvania, environmental advocacy groups are awaiting the Pennsylvania Supreme Court decision which could affect the future of Commonwealth-owned properties' responsibility to pay stormwater fees as property owners do. The Chesapeake Bay Foundation is urging the Pennsylvania Supreme Court to overturn a decision by the Commonwealth Court, which stated the Borough of West Chester's stormwater fee is a tax as applied to West Chester University of Pennsylvania property within the borough. Trisha Salvia, staff attorney for the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, said the Commonwealth Court ruled the fee should be treated as a tax when applied to the university and government entities, which under other circumstances do not have to pay a tax. ...

Trump administration gives $30M to diversify bet on nuclear breakthrough

Print this article
The Energy Department announced Wednesday it is providing $30 million to U.S. companies seeking a breakthrough in developing smaller nuclear reactors.
The grant funding from the Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program comes on top of $160 million the DOE distributed in October to two companies that intend to develop and construct small nuclear reactors that can be operational within five to seven years.
The new money is going to five additional companies for “risk reduction projects.” These projects are in their earliest phases with technical hurdles to overcome and remain farther away from being ready for deployment — some 10 to 14 years from now. All of the awards are cost-share agreements between the government and industry.
