Why It Matters
NorthMark Strategies Group has hired Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP to lobby on energy and nuclear policy. The group joins a wave of organizations pushing for nuclear expansion as federal energy priorities shift. The lobbying registration marks the first time NorthMark has engaged a federal lobbying firm.
Broader Context
Federal energy policy has shifted from emphasizing emissions reduction and renewable deployment to prioritizing energy independence, reliability, and domestic production for oil, gas, coal, and nuclear resources. President Trump signed four executive orders on May 23, 2025, aimed at quadrupling U.S. nuclear energy capacity to 400 gigawatts, modernizing Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) regulation, streamlining reactor testing, and reinvigorating the nuclear industrial base. Some data center developers have proposed using existing or new nuclear generation plants for their electricity supplies. The NRC has revised its mandatory hearing process for reactor licensing to streamline procedures. The high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) Availability Program is actively funding to fuel next-generation reactors.
