    The international community sees an urgent need to make electricity generation carbon-free to protect people and the planet from the dangers of air pollution and climate change. To be able to cover this with sustainable energy, nuclear energy is essential, in addition to the expansion of wind and solar power. With the exception of Germany, the largest industrialized countries are focusing on building new reactors. However, due to the sanctions against Russia, increasing demand is being met by an insufficient supply of uranium. The beneficiaries of this shortage are uranium producers from Western countries.

By the end of 2022, there was a 70% slump in the share, and Elon Musk, the founder, had USD 100 billion less in the account within 8 weeks. He himself was to blame because in order to finance the Twitter takeover, he had to part with Tesla shares.
