Nuclear energy.......
True foresight may lead you to buy into Uranium now.
The Democrats have always traditionally been the ones to stand in the way of any forward momentum for pursuit of this energy, but with this financial crisis (very large to see an absolute fix by Obama’s 4th year in office), general discontent in the public may see another Republican in office next election. This will once again put Nuclear back on the front page.
There was an interesting article in Esquire regarding Eric Loewen and his Sodium FAST Reactor which is gaining traction. Interesting because this reactor produces energy from the waste produced from nuclear reactors (which is the number one hurdle for the pursuit of nuclear energy to begin with). So what is nuclear waste? It's still 99% uranium and It's still usable. But 1% is transuranics. (Which are very fast neutrons that make fission very difficult and dangerous, but with these fast reactors, can be slowed down for viability... Since no CO2 is released with nuclear, what other energy source in the world is there for a true game changing event?)
So, near-term easy fossil fuels aside, investing in a uranium miner or 2 might be an ideal path to follow.
Also Lithium, due to its small global supply along with the recent and exceptional increase in electrical motivation by Global auto producers, but that’s another story.
Cheers.
PS. Here’s the link to the FAST reactor article. A very interesting read. (Found in Esquire of all places...)
