here's an excerpt that raises questions...
------------------
An executive order on Unleashing American Energy orders an "immediate review of all agency actions that potentially burden the development of domestic energy resources". It directs the heads of "all agencies" to review existing regulations and agency actions to identify those that "impose an undue burden on the identification, development, or use of domestic energy resources - with particular attention to oil, natural gas, coal, hydropower, biofuels, critical mineral, and nuclear energy resources". It also, among other things, instructs the US Geological Survey "to consider updating the Survey’s list of critical minerals, including for the potential of including uranium".
-----------------

"Potential of including uranium?"...yet an unambiguous cry for "Drill, Baby, Drill". I'm a bit underwhelmed at the mention of 'Uranium", especially when the Biden administration made a very clear funding decision ($700M) to advance the development of a critically needed "High Assay Low Enrichment Uranium" (HALEU) production facility that is needed for the new GEN-IV reactors (see link). It needs to come on line rapidly since the GEN-IV reactors are expected to begin demonstration operations between 2028 and 2030...which the Biden administration also provided funding for.

All of this should be known to the Trump team, so I'm hoping that Nuclear News will be reporting shortly that the HALEU plant has the Trump administration's full and enthusiastic support...along with each of the GEN-IV reactors...with the intent of them quickly providing all the "Grid Level" electrical power for this nation.

btw, right now, our only source of HALEU fuel...and the ONLY countries that commercially produce it are..........................Russia and China..... We NEED to be SELF SUFFICIENT..."America First!"
