ClearPath Foundation is a nonprofit organization based in Charlotte, North Carolina, and Washington, D.C., that is focused on "conservative clean energy". According to a press release, the organization was founded to propose and support policies that accelerate clean energy without expanding the size of government.[1]
History
ClearPath was founded by Republican entrepreneur and philanthropist Jay Faison in 2013 to change the conservative viewpoint on clean energy. After selling his majority stake in the audio-visual company SnapAV, Faison donated US$165 million to start ClearPath, with a mission of "accelerating conservative clean energy solutions."[2][3]
Activities
ClearPath advances its mission through "strategic grant-making, advocacy, and digital platforms", and focuses on energy policy, polling, and analysis.[4][5][6]
Principles
The ClearPath website lists five principles used for analyzing policy. ClearPath believes in "small government, free markets, and American innovation", as well as pollution risk management, cost-benefit analysis and energy security.[5]
Policy Areas
- Nuclear energy – ClearPath proposes expanded use of nuclear power in the United States, calling it "one of America's greatest success stories".[7] In particular, they support existing nuclear plants, as well as advanced nuclear such as small modular reactors and generation IV reactors. In February 2016, ClearPath's CEO Jay Faison proposed developing "super-competitive, next-generation" nuclear reactors.[8]
