Energy Industry Stocking Stuffers

This year, I have to say, I was surprised to see that renewable fuels were left out of the last-minute goodie grab. You would have thought that Democrats would be ladling out the green to green companies. Not really. Tax breaks for solar and wind power fell out of the energy bill. And now, in a last-minute maneuver, a bipartisan group of lawmakers have inserted into a massive spending bill new loan guarantees for next-generation nuclear and coal plants. In fact, nuclear and coal get three times the loan guarantees -- about $20 billion -- that renewables get.

This is a powerful sign to investors that nuclear has powerful support in Washington. Maybe that's why S&P is now tracking nuclear power with a new index: S&P Global Nuclear Energy.

Van Eck has even created a new ETF: Van Eck Nuclear Energy ETF.

The President strongly backed nuclear energy in his speech in Virginia today. Not a bad way for the industry to start its holiday./End quote
