There is a growing demand for alternative fuels that are cleaner than conventional fuels. In addition to being one of the world’s most abundant metals, uranium is also increasingly being used as a power source. Since uranium is less radioactive once it has been depleted for energy use, once it has been depleted for energy use, it can be used for other applications.
In 2020, the government of the United States started to invest heavily in the mining of uranium, which contributed to a rise in stock prices that followed. As a result of uranium fueling nuclear power, the United States consumes approximately 20% of its energy and 10% of its electricity as a result of nuclear power.
