Looks like nuclear energy is making a slow but sure comeback in the long run- assisted by the promise of small modular reactors, and the growing realization that renewables alone will not cover all energy needs if we want to get off fossil fuels, and US government moving into action to stop Russia/Canada/Australia/Kazakhstan cucking our domestic Uranium miners, restarting the only domestic uranium ore conversion facility and moving forward on establishing the first ever US Uranium reserve-

Positive public perception is gaining momentum too-

Not sure if uranium imports are banned yet but once they are expect the US uranium mining industry to surge. This is a really long term hold though, like 2025+
