Daily on Energy ⚡— Senate boosts Bill Gates-backed Wyoming nuclear plant versus reliance on Russian uranium
A CLOSER LOOK AT THE MANCHIN-BARRASSO AMENDMENT: A bipartisan NDAA amendment that won near-unanimous Senate approval yesterday would establish a domestic nuclear fuel program aimed at ensuring continued access to enriched uranium, key to existing nuclear plants and advanced nuclear projects, and ending U.S. reliance on Russia.
That supply is not reliable as evidenced by Russia’s abrupt throttling of gas deliveries to the EU via its Nord Stream pipeline. Also of note: Wyoming is home to the largest U.S. uranium ore reserves, or the raw material that provides the fuel used by nuclear power plants. There are no conventional uranium mining projects in the state, according to the EIA—thus presenting the state with another area of potentially massive economic growth if it moves to build out a domestic uranium supply chain.
