Nuclear energy is poised for growth.  With oil prices soaring globally, especially in Europe, governments and companies are investing in alternative forms of energy.  With Japan announcing in August they are reopening 7 reactors and the US announcing $30 billion in tax credits in nuclear energy investments, this has set the stage for countries all over the world to begin or continue their efforts into investing in nuclear energy.  For example, Germany is considering reopening their reactors, France is constructing 14 new reactors, and India is planning on building a “mega-reactor” to all pivot from their current dependence on oil and coal. Shifts in the geopolitical environment have allowed for the nuclear energy/uranium industry to have huge growth prospects in both the short and long term.
