Uranium was identified as a priority in one of President Trump's first executive orders this week. Very excited for next week's fireside with Miriam D'Onofrio, Acting Senior Director for Energy and Investment at the White House National Security Council to discuss uranium security. She is brilliant and one of my favorite humans.Uranium is one of the most consequential elements of the modern era, fueling the nuclear energy that underpins today's economy. Nuclear energy's growth to power artificial intelligence and heavy manufacturing hinges on the United States’ ability to secure a reliable uranium supply. Once the world's leading uranium producer from 1953 to the 1980s, the US now heavily depends on imports of both raw and enriched uranium from countries like Kazakhstan and Russia. This reliance poses a major challenge to maintaining U.S. nuclear leadership. Miriam and I will talk about how we're going to reduce US reliance on Russia for uranium, how we'll revitalize the domestic uranium industry, and how we're going to build an international order book for nuclear reactors.
