Dear Reader, In 2013, they accidentally threw away a scratch-off lottery ticket. Joanne and Joseph Zagami of North Attleborough, Massachusetts, had inadvertently thrown the ticket away with their groceries. Luckily, they found it in the trash the next day just in time before the garbage was collected. When they scratched it, they discovered it was a $1 million winner. Sometimes you just want to hold on to the ticket… A Nuclear Lottery Ticket Owned by a… Gold Company? The uranium market was one of the hottest stories in late 2023 on the back of 15-year high uranium prices. Nuclear restarts in Japan, surging numbers of nuclear power projects in China, United Kingdom, and around the world… This is expended to be a trend over the next decade – along with commodities. Gold and copper, in particular. “We view it as critical… we are serious. We need to deploy now.” That’s from Michael Goff, acting assistant secretary of the US Energy Department’s Office of Nuclear Energy. The completion of two new reactors at the Vogtle Nuclear Plant is a major move forward, elevating nuclear energy’s role in the U.S. power grid. With power demand soaring, especially from data centers and manufacturing sectors, the push for more carbon-free solutions like nuclear has never been more urgent. - The U.S. Energy Department’s bold plan to triple nuclear capacity by 2050 underscores this urgency.
