Palm Beach, FL – March 23, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Uranium is in the spotlight again as the world may be doing an about-face in turning to favor nuclear power plants again. A recent article from a financial media portal, ProactiveInvestors.com focused on policy makers in governments, saying that recent world circumstances may give those parties more ammunition. It said that: “some of the more thoughtful figures on the right wing of North American and European politics have been advocating a major re-focusing of attention on nuclear power for some years now. The pitch has always been simple enough – nuclear is clean, relative to coal, oil and natural gas, and you can produce it at a competitive price. Or to put it another way, if you want to accommodate the climate change lobby without breaking the bank on renewables subsidies, nuclear is the way to go. But there have been two problems with this approach: safety concerns and inertia… Now, though, the inertia has gone.” It continued, saying that: “… (recently) oil prices have skyrocketed, and governments in Europe and North America… are begging to look elsewhere for alternatives. In recent days, the Belgians have put back plans to phase out nuclear power by ten years, the Germans and the Japanese are said to be revisiting old attitudes to nuclear, and in the UK Boris Johnson is holding some kind of a summit with bigwigs in the nuclear power generating industry… (if that happens) then uranium is going to become an even hotter commodity than it already is.” Active companies in the markets today include: BASIN URANIUM CORP. (OTCPK: BURCF) (CSE: NCLR), Fission Uranium Corp. (OTCQX: FCUUF) (TSX: FCU), Uranium Royalty Corp. (NASDAQ: UROY) (TSXV: URC), Ur-Energy Inc. (NYSE: URG) (TSX:URE), Cameco (NYSE: CCJ) (TSX: CCO).
ProactiveInvestors.com continued: “Already the uranium price has gone through the roof, along with most other commodities, in response to the disruptions to supply chains. At the current spot price of US$55 per pound, it’s already trading in a higher range than it has done for more than ten years. … if governments in the Western world start building more nuclear plants they’re going to need to get the uranium from somewhere. But for those (investors) who just want the straight gains that uranium is likely to book, there’s always the swath of new uranium ETFs, which weren’t available last time the price went this high, but sure are doing well this time round.”
