- Chris Wright, the new U.S. Secretary of Energy, supports nuclear power, aiming to reduce regulatory barriers, benefiting NUKZ's holdings like OKLO, CEG, CCJ, LEU, and SMR.
- Despite high valuations and potential regulatory risks, I am bullish on NUKZ, recommending it over URA for thematic exposure to the nuclear renaissance.
