Summary:"During my tenure as Senator and leader of the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, I was proud to be known as a strong proponent of nuclear power," said [Pete Domenici] before receiving the Lewis Award from Carl Rau, President of Bechtel Nuclear Power. "More than 12 years ago, I spoke at the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at Harvard University to propose a 'new nuclear paradigm' and to usher in a resurgence of nuclear energy. In 2005, our committee passed a landmark and bipartisan energy bill, the Energy Policy Act of 2005, which included adequate support for the nuclear power industry and encouraged the nuclear renaissance our country needs to deliver reliable, economical, and clean electricity."
