Assume the role of lobbyist for an energy company.

Your organization has asked you to attend an energy conference in Washington D.C. There will be a number of U.S. Senators and Congressmen present and you realize that you will have an opportunity to influence energy policy. As such, you have reviewed several reputable sources and have gathered a number of key facts that support your organization's position on both hydropower and nuclear generation.

Note: As an environmental activist you are seeking increased regulatory requirements, while as a lobbyist for an energy company, you are pushing for less restrictive regulation. Notably, this should not be interpreted to mean that all environmental activists want increased regulation or that all energy companies push for less regulation.

Applying your research results and indicating your assigned stance in your discussion thread's title, post a discussion thread laying out the facts you have found.

Clearly convey the following:

Two regulatory requirements, one pertaining to hydropower and one pertaining to nuclear power generation, that you wish to influence.

How you believe these requirements should change.

The facts that support your position, including how other countries have addressed these same issues.

The long term benefits associated with your suggestions.

Make sure to support your work using reputable sources.
