nuclear energy uranium.
Which begs the question...
Why is Obama — and the rest of the world — spending trillions on nuclear energy?
Simple.
It’s the only cheap, climate-friendly source capable of meeting their power needs.
Nuclear power meets all the checklists that solar and wind can’t.
Reduces electricity costs... check.
Cuts carbon emissions... check.
Capable of powering entire countries... check.
This fuel is a win-win for the environment and economy.
That’s why the political consensus for this is incredible:
Obama.
Democrats.
Republicans.
Even hard-core environmentalists.
As The Washington Post reports, "Climate change is forcing environmentalists to support nuclear power."
Just recently, 71 environmental scientists and researchers signed a letter in support of nuclear energy.
All are on board.
They all support billions invested in nuclear power.
None of the crazy political feuding we’ve seen over the Keystone Pipeline.
So this is an unstoppable trend, and one that’s heating up this year.
Which brings me to the "elephant in the room."
That is, Japan.
HUGE Market-Moving Event #1: By June 30, Japan Will Restart Its Nuclear Reactors
Without a doubt, Japan is restarting four of its nuclear reactors in 2015.
Government sources say the first two will go online by June at the latest.
These first two reactors already cleared regulatory hurdles in early February.
And there’s nothing stopping them from going back online.
Fact is, Japan has no choice.
Its economy is in tatters as a direct result of the post-Fukushima shutdown of power plants.
Once accounting for 30% of the nation's electricity needs, nuclear has fallen to zero.
In its place, Japan has imported massive quantities of oil and gas at crazy-high prices.
This in turn has triggered a massive trade deficit, forcing the cash-strapped government to take on even more debt and print even more money.
Utilities are losing $30 billion every year from increased fuel costs.
And Japanese consumers are feeling the pinch, with 50% electricity rate hikes.
Consumer demand is plummeting as fewer people have money for goods after paying their light bills.
So the Japanese government is rushing at full speed to get its nuclear reactors online.
And I’m not exaggerating when I say this single event will be THE game-changer for uranium.
You see, the memory of Fukushima is the only thing still weighing on the uranium sector.
That’s why the markets haven’t priced in the real supply gap.
But that’s all about to change...
Recently, just talks about Japan turning its reactors back on sent the spot price soaring by 40%.
So when these first reactors actually go back on online... investors will rush into uranium stocks.
But you won’t want to wait until then. It will be too late... and you’ll miss out on the early entry points.
And this is key...
In fact, getting in just early enough could mean the difference between a few nice percentage points on your portfolio statement...
Or a massive retirement windfall.
It’s your choice.

Just like Paladin Energy, which skyrocketed from one cent to $10.34 — a staggering 130,400% return in just three short years.
Yes, Japan’s nuclear move is HUGE...
Yes, it will have a huge psychological impact on the markets...
But it’s NOT the only major event driving uranium through the roof in 2015.
Far from it...
In fact, fear of climate change is forcing a dramatic global shift from fossil fuels to nuclear energy.
Now, regardless of how you feel about global warming, the reality is that the world is mobilizing to cut its CO2 emissions.
And Obama is leading this massive drive... especially in high-pollutant countries like India and China.
Wind and solar power simply can’t meet the energy needs of these fast-growing nations.
Like it or not, the only realistic zero-carbon emission solution is nuclear power.
The IEA said that in order for the world to meet its climate reduction goals, "nuclear power needs to double."
That’s why Obama’s leading energy advisor calls nuclear energy "essential to our carbon reduction goals."
Obama’s Climate Action Plan confirmed this statement.
And in last year’s "climate change accord" with China, nuclear energy was the big winner.
This pact requires China to add 1,000 gigawatts of zero-carbon energy.
In turn, that requires a total of 1,000 new nuclear reactors.
That’s 150% more nuclear reactors than currently exist in the world!
Then there’s India — a new major polluter — which is catching up to China in carbon emissions.
On January 25, Obama pushed through a "nuclear breakthrough" with India as part of their climate talks...
A move that will lead to 30 new nuclear reactors, supplying electricity to a sub-continent of 800 million people.
These two deals will spread nuclear power like we’ve never seen before starting this year.
70 new reactors are under construction...
183 are being planned...
And 343 are under proposal.
That's a 136% boost from the current number of online reactors.
This marks the greatest number of reactors in construction since the 1970s, when the first uranium supercycle kicked off.
Billions of new people in over 76 countries will now rely on nuclear power for their electricity.
But here’s the real kicker...
Putin is now a one-man uranium cartel.
He owns 50% of the global uranium stockpile and controls 45% of the global supply.
These are incredible numbers.
And it’s shocking more people don’t realize this...
Russia is a major supplier in itself, sure.
But I’m talking about its neighbor Kazakhstan — a country Putin pretty much owns.
Kazakhstan is the world’s #1 uranium producer, mining 40% of the current supply.
And on January 1, Russia signed the Eurasian Union compact with three of its neighbors.
One of the only countries to sign it? That’s right: Kazakhstan.
In effect, this is now the OPEC for uranium. Call it UPEC.
The Russian nuclear energy company, Rosatom, pretty much has first dibs on all of Kazakhstan’s supply.
And Rosatom is a major exporter of nuclear energy, building power plants in 13 countries.
Plus, get this:
Nuclear power provides electricity to one out of five American homes.
America is the largest consumer of uranium, at least for now.
And it relies on foreign exports for 90% of its uranium supply.
Our major supplier is — you guessed it — Russia.
And that’s not even the worst part...
Russia is now the largest owner of America’s uranium deposits.
A recent move gave Russia control of one-fifth of America’s reserves. And they can choose to export to Russia, China, or any country if they wish.
So with the continued Cold War raging between Washington and Moscow...
Sanctions on Russia...
And Putin’s history of using energy exports to coerce Europe...
The potential for a severe uranium supply disruption in 2015 seems inevitable.
It’s an incredible situation — one that’s obviously lucrative to anyone paying attention.
If Putin chooses to withhold even some of his supply, the uranium price is going through the roof.
No question about it.
Bottom line:
"Uranium prices are inevitably soaring in 2015"
You have the fundamentals, with the current supply crunch and skyrocketing demand...
The swing in market psychology, with Japan switching on its reactors by June...
And escalating geopolitical crises, where 50% of uranium is produced and stockpiled.
It’s all coming to a head THIS year.
Now you know how much money is at stake.
You’ve seen how past swings have sent nuclear fuel stocks soaring as high as 100,000%.
This situation — and its wealth potential — is a no-brainer.

And it’s currently sitting on the most valuable uranium deposit in history... the last source of untapped high-grade uranium in the world.
And this field is the crown jewel of the region. That’s pretty astounding.
I can list off several companies that are circling this tiny miner, waiting to bid up its shares.
That all sounds great, but the real question is, "When will this happen?"
The best part is that we don’t have to guess...
You see, the reason why the market hasn’t factored in this new uranium discovery is due to a weird anomaly in the resource markets.
The chart below shows it...

This chart is known well by industry analysts. But few outside of those circles have seen it.
It predicts when a junior miner is about to soar with remarkable accuracy.
Here’s how it works...
After the explorer makes the initial discovery, its share price soars.
Then, after the resource estimate, the company’s shares usually tank.
But it’s in a tiny six-month window afterwards where the real opportunity lies.
This is before the preliminary economic assessment, in the third phase, which is when the markets take notice.
After the PEA report is released, a junior miner takes off... like clockwork.
So this company is going through the roof... no matter what.
But here’s why this is REALLY a perfect storm of profit...
Its upside potential truly has NO limits.
In just the past few years, massive, rapid-fire gains from companies in multiple sectors, such as:

159% on Xethanol Inc. (in 3 months)

119% on Cree

316% on Akeena Solar

101% on JA Solar

245% on Organovo

426% on Alternate Energy Holdings (in just 3 months)

110% on Solarfun Power
