Hello all,
I had a thought come to mind and wanted to play with the idea.
With rising power demands caused by general increases in electronics usage and AI data centers, it can be inferred that we will be forced to generate more power. Trends indicate that those will be solar/wind, but nuclear continues to prove to be one of, if not the most effective, way of generating electricity.
Do you think the US will bite and start making moves towards more effective means of producing electricity, such as nuclear? And if so, which companies would you bank on being the ones eating up those contracts? Which stocks can you see being the most profitable if the US were to start shifting towards nuclear energy?
Just curious what people more educated in the stock market may think. What kind of implications do you see this having on the market as a whole?
EDIT: Im not seeking any advice, I am not investing. I just wanted to do a thought experiment and see what people who are more in tune with the market had to say. If this hypothetical played out, who do you see coming out of it on top?
