Energy independence for the United States - what's not to love. From Just the News:
Trump moves ahead with plans to revive U.S. nuclear program, domestic uranium production
President Trump is moving ahead with plans to revitalize the country’s nuclear energy sector and help the domestic uranium industry – releasing a blueprint report this week on how the U.S. can regain its “competitive global position” with China and Russia “aggressively moving to surpass the United States.”
The 32-page report released Thursday by the Energy Department follows uranium recently being put on the list of strategic minerals and Trump requesting in July 2019 that federal officials draft a plan to restore America’s competitive nuclear advantages.
The first steps include calls for the federal government to revive and strengthen the uranium mining industry, bring top talent back to the industry, further pursue technological innovation and move into markets now dominated by Russian and Chinese state-owned enterprises.
Cue the greenies in 3... 2... 1... This is really good news - not only for Uranium but also for the Rare Earth minerals (used extensivley in technology) as well as Thorium which is a common by-product of REMs. Compare that to Hillary and Obama's Uranium One deal with Russia - giving them 20% of our current domestic uranium mining. Glad we have some adults in the room finally.
