Uranium prices are climbing, nuclear energy demand is surging, and America is facing an unprecedented energy challenge. But the real story? A looming uranium supply crisis.
In an interview with Jeremy Szafron, Anchor at Kitco News, Scott Melbye, CEO of Uranium Royalty Corp and EVP of Uranium Energy Corp, breaks down why now is the most critical moment for nuclear energy in decades. With the U.S. banning Russian uranium imports, AI and data centers driving massive electricity demand, and new reactors urgently needed, Melbye reveals the hidden risks and opportunities shaping the nuclear industry.
Melbye delivers candid insights on President Trump’s energy dominance policies, the geopolitical landscape, and why America urgently needs new uranium mines. This conversation is essential viewing for investors, policymakers, and anyone interested in the energy trends set to redefine the next decade.
Key Topics:
– Is uranium entering a "perfect storm"?
– What does the Russian uranium ban mean for global markets?
– How will AI and data centers drive nuclear power growth?
– Can the U.S. build reactors fast enough to meet surging demand?
– Why is America "playing catch-up" in nuclear energy?
– Will tariffs disrupt uranium supply chains from Canada?
Don’t miss Melbye’s powerful analysis of what’s next for uranium, nuclear power, and America’s energy security.
