Overview
A grant to the Union of Concerned Scientists would allow the organization to make use of the special circumstances brought on by the President’s decision to cut $480 billion from the defense budget over the next ten years. The project would bring together scientists from the National Laboratories with experts from the nuclear policy community to determine where to make cuts while maintaining the safety of the U.S. nuclear stockpile. The Union of Concerned Scientists’ staff of technical experts makes them well suited to find common ground between scientists at the National Labs and the policy community, who have traditionally been at odds.

The Union of Concerned Scientists, a national nonprofit organization, uses rigorous, independent science to solve our planet’s most pressing problems. The union works to advance equitable and sustainable transportation electrification of both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles; improve access to low- and zero-carbon mobility options beyond electric vehicles; and promote guardrails in policies to decarbonize transportation fuels, while planning for petroleum phaseout.
