Trump announces an "Energy Emergency" Program..."Drill, Baby, Drill"...but not a word about Nuclear
Power. IMO he's about to drive the U.S. off a cliff. Even China has an ambitious Nuclear Program...and the U.S. still has less than 10yrs of Proven Oil Reserves at current consumption rates, which means that even if we were to find TRIPLE that amount overnight, we're still faced with an existential threat.
This is not good.

Huh. Is uranium a word associated with nuclear?
Googling…..googling…..

What is a typical time estimate from prelim design to start-up for Framatome, Westinghouse or
Global Nuclear Fuel to design, mfg and deliver fuel assemblies? BTW, I'm in favor of nuclear power but it seems to me that even if the industry plans are stood up tomorrow that oil will be neccessary if for no other reason than to fill the gap unless we stop shutting down coal fired plants. Oops, fuel also needed for license extension of Diablo Canyon in CA.
Nuke related stocks soared after announcement of the AI mega-investment
NUCLEAR STOCKS
Nuclear energy stocks rose as investors cheered Trump's pick of Chris Wright for energy secretary. Wright has promised to prioritize the production of nuclear power and liquefied natural gas as part of his plan to boost U.S. energy output.
Vistra (VST.N), opens new tab gained 4%, NuScale Power (SMR.N), opens new tab rose 10%, while Sam Altman-backed nuclear startup Oklo Inc (OKLO.N), opens new tab added 12.4%.
Everyone knows we need this dramatic increase in power. Trump will clear the regulatory hurdles and private enterprise will build out the nukes.
Nuclear is a long term (more than a few years) strategy. You don’t see that in US politics anymore.

A president' EO is a short-term policy. Long term one can't be done by a president alone. He doesn't
have power to do that for obvious reason, i.g. next president can stop or change his EO. Long-term agenda has to be done by 3 branches of our government.
Just ignore Ty's ridiculous accusation.
Current plans call for GEN-IV Nuclear Reactors to provide for a reliable and sustainable electricity
grid that doesn't rely on FFs for Heat and Power, and given that our reserves of Oil are strategically very low (<10yrs at current consumption rates) we need them to begin coming 'on line' just 5 yrs from now. Fortunately, projects have started and have bipartisan support...but many things need to happen before then, including continued development funding and the pulling together of private investments that will actually fund the many plants that need to be approved during these 5 years. That also means cooperation among utilities and other energy related institutions...like the O&G industry factoring in reductions in their production of Oil and Gas.
For DJT to say absolutely nothing about Nuclear Power is very concerning for our ability to truly become "Energy Independent"...which we are not now...and can never be with a reliance on only Fossil Fuels.
If you have any questions on this, please ask.

Correct which is a major issue.

US producing more fossil fuel than ever before, and DJT says it’s nonexistent.
Believe him because he always tells the truth.
No. DJT tells truth. You're ignorant on Economics 101, as always.
If we're really producing more fossil fuel as you claim, why gas price is higher today than before? More fossil fuel should lower gas price. That's the law, the law of supply and demand.
On January 2017 when Trump began his first term of presidency, the gas price was $2.45 national average. Today it's $3.10 national average, higher than Jan 2017.
You're stupid by only looking at one variable. But in economy it's always demand and supply, 2 variables. Even you're producing more, but if the demand is much more than you produce, you're still actually producing LESS, less than we demand. The price is the indicator, the judge that tells you if you're producing more or less. Now the current price clearly tells you we're producing less. Why we demand more? Because we have more population, more GDP which means more economic activities than Jan 2017.
He tells the truth? You’re a comedian now? If you’re not, you’re an idiots’, idiot.

The U.S. is not in control of Oil prices, and will be less so with each coming year...btw, shale oil
production is expensive and peaking in most locations...we need to invest in new nuclear power plants that will come on line beginning in 2030...provided DJT doesn't ignore them in favor of Fossil Fuels.

If U.S. is not in control of Oil prices, what is the purpose to sell 50% SPR by Biden in 22-23?
(no message)
The SPR is for use in reducing the effects of short term shocks in oil pricing...Biden successfully
did that...and replaced the oil used...at a profit. DJT's statement is a long-term commitment to "Drill, Baby, Drill" and apparently rely solely on Oil and Gas for our energy future. This is absolutely the wrong strategy and. will do serious damage to our economy...and national security...just the things that Vladimir Putin most wants to see. IMO it's also why Trump exclaimed that of all functions of government...he wanted to personally take responsibility for ENERGY.
You are correct that Congress needs to step in and insist on continuing the bipartisan support for Nuclear Energy...even increasing that support over the rest of this term...we shall see what happens...and speak out accordingly.
