NUCLEAR & URANIUM · scores as of

Best Nuclear & Uranium stocks.

The theme: Nuclear and uranium are a bet on nuclear power becoming more accessible, and on it meeting more of our largest energy needs.

My take

I see it as a strong play on America's growing need for energy infrastructure.

The name I'd single out is Oklo. It's a unique play on small modular reactors, which can be built faster and sized for more specific power needs.

The hurdle is the system already in place. Oil is still king, nearly everything runs on fossil fuels, and that habit is sticky.
