William Blair's bull thesis centers on Cameco's unique position across the entire nuclear fuel cycle. The company's 49% ownership stake in Westinghouse Electric Company is a key differentiator.

Mangrove Lithium CEO Saad Dara described the facility as a 'clown building,' emphasizing its unexpected location and extensive operations. He noted, 'It just keeps going,' while showcasing the research and development lab.

"They want us to show these gringo companies where the minerals are and then go and hand over everything, all without a fuss. That's concerning, because where does it leave us, as Mexicans? Basically, they are going to keep stealing from us."

U.S. President Donald Trump issued several pipeline permits on Wednesday, including one for the construction of a new pipeline, to facilitate the transportation of crude oil and petroleum products between the U.S. and Canada.

The village deliberately chose to spend solar income on welfare rather than individual dividends, a decision Jeon says residents made themselves rather than being persuaded. If you divide money as individual income, people feel disconnected.

Wedbush's core argument centers on vertical integration as the most underappreciated dimension of the MP Materials story. The cross-pollination between Mountain Pass and Independence creates cost and quality advantages that flow in both directions, meaning the mine makes the magnet facility better, and the magnet facility makes the mine more valuable.

The Minamitorishima operation, conducted with the scientific deep-sea drilling vessel Chikyu, represents the world's first attempt to sample at such depths.

In the past two months, conflict in Iran has created an energy crisis - the latest in a series. Oil prices spiked within days of the start of US, Israeli and Iranian bombing in the Gulf region on 28 February.

US Vice President JD Vance stated that Washington's core demand is for Tehran to commit 'to not having a nuclear weapon.' He emphasized that if Iran agrees to these terms, the US is 'going to make Iran thrive' and that a deal with the Trump administration would allow Iran to 'prosper and join the world economy.'

The launch of xU3O8-based lending on the DeFi aggregator Oku allows investors to access liquidity in USDC without selling their underlying physical uranium positions, enhancing capital efficiency.

The energy minister, Chris Bowen, acknowledged fuel supplies could face further pressure but ruled out a cut to the fuel excise or rationing fuel purchasing. Bowen said he had cut fuel companies' minimum stock obligations to about 2.2bn litres of diesel and 700m litres of petrol respectively, freeing up about 500m and 300m respectively to be directed towards regional Australia.

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical corridor for global oil and gas trade, has led to a significant surge in oil prices across Asia, Europe, and the United States, affecting consumers at fuel pumps worldwide.

The DOE issued a Request for Information (RFI) on Wednesday, seeking responses from states that may be interested in hosting the campuses, which will operate a "full‑cycle nuclear ecosystem." In practice, this means these sites will be expected to provide facilities for atomic waste reprocessing and disposal, in addition to fuel fabrication and enrichment. They may also serve as locations for nuclear reactors and co‑located datacenters powered by them.

The VanEck Uranium and Nuclear ETF has surged 75% over the past year, climbing from around $84 in January 2025 to $146.60 today. With $3.6 billion in assets, this fund concentrates on uranium miners and nuclear utilities, betting that renewed interest in carbon-free baseload power will translate into sustained demand for nuclear fuel and infrastructure. The question now is whether this momentum can continue or if the rally has gotten ahead of fundamentals.

Four years ago, The Guardian published a landmark expose in climate journalism that detailed a coming "carbon bomb" of oil and gas projects. Damian Carrington and Matthew Taylor reported that the projects included plans to explore for, drill, frack, refine, and transport enough additional oil and gas to equal 10 years of China's planet-warming emissions.

Russia has been steadily expanding its global nuclear footprint through its state-owned nuclear corporation Rosatom and its subsidiaries. Russia provides financing or technological support and exports complete nuclear-power-plant solutions from building infrastructure to supplying the core component, the Nuclear Steam Supply System, which drives power generation.

Asked by the Guardian in November in Tehran what cost benefit analysis could possibly conclude that the nuclear programme was a worthwhile project, the foreign minister, Abbas Araghchi, referred to Iran's sovereign right under the nuclear non-proliferation treaty, the medical benefits, and the blood of past assassinated Iranian nuclear scientists. He suggested a compromise whereby a consortium including possibly the US could enrich uranium in Iran, but insisted the principle that uranium would be enriched inside Iran remained sacrosanct.

Rare earths are rapidly evolving into a strategic asset class as nations strive to reduce reliance on China, which retains overwhelming dominance in mining and refining capacity. Driven by surging demand from critical industries and heightened government intervention, the market infrastructure is maturing to meet the challenge. A pivotal milestone in this evolution is the CME Group's plan to launch rare earth futures contracts.
