Kraken Energy, RWE, Plug Power - Is Germany reconsidering its nuclear phase-out?

Calls for a U-turn on the nuclear energy issue are getting louder in Germany. Above all, the AfD, the CDU/CSU, and the FDP, as members of the traffic light government, are calling for a resumption of nuclear power generation. In Europe, Germany's energy policy has already caused considerable head-shaking. Nuclear power can shoulder the base load, does not produce CO2 emissions and is cheaper and less volatile than renewable energies. Many countries agree on one thing: we need to move away from fossil fuels. In the Czech Republic, plans are underway to build 4 new nuclear power plants, and in Poland, the Netherlands and Sweden, there is no longer interest in phasing out nuclear power. It will be interesting to see how Germany's struggle for energy develops.

COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai boosts uranium shares! Cameco, GoviEx Uranium, Siemens Energy and E.ON in focus

With a raised finger, Chancellor Scholz calls for a global shift away from fossil fuels in Dubai. Climate change remains "the great global challenge of our time". He is thus appealing to the almost 200 countries, which are holding energetic consultations until mid-December, to join in the energy transition formulated in Germany. Specifically, he proposed an agreement on two binding targets that are already consensus among the industrialized countries of the G20: One is to triple the expansion of renewable energy, and the other is to double energy efficiency - both by the year 2030. So far, more than 110 countries have agreed to expand green energy production at this rate. However, there is also the opposing party: around 20 countries want to almost triple their investment in nuclear energy. Where are the winners hiding?

Uranium with exploding demand! Uniper, GoviEx Uranium, Plug Power, RWE - The next 100% value in the portfolio

  • renewableenergies

With a global alliance, the participants of the last climate conference in Cairo want to implement their NetZero targets by 2035 or 2045. The speed of adaptation to more sustainable energy production and use is, of course, dependent on the public investment budgets of governments. In Germany and the EU, eco-taxes are levied to fund other areas, such as transport, which are then to be invested in environmental projects. However, most participants in the climate agreement are overburdened because of the high costs of migration management and rising government spending. However, because many countries still have a good infrastructure for nuclear energy, this form of energy is now being used to achieve the desired climate neutrality somewhat earlier and more easily. The protagonists of this view in Europe are France, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic - Germany is staying out of this issue. However, around 100 new reactors are to be built worldwide, so uranium as a raw material is once again at the top of the shopping list. Which stocks are at the forefront of this trend?

Bright prospects - GoviEx Uranium, Cameco, Uranium Energy

Germany is taking a unique path in the green energy mix and, after shutting down the last three reactors, is doing without nuclear energy altogether. In contrast, global nuclear power capacities are steadily increasing, with 60 reactors currently under construction. Politicians in North America are supporting the expansion with programs worth billions to support the domestic uranium sector and, at the same time, minimize dependence on Russia.

Heat pump, wind power and solar energy, is this the electricity mix of the future? E.ON, Myriad Uranium and ThyssenKrupp in focus

Germany is rapidly moving away from fossil fuels and has removed nuclear power from its energy mix. This makes us the forerunner of a new-thinking society that wants to switch energy production entirely to renewable sources. But there are a few problems because, by abandoning nuclear power, we are forced to extend the lifetimes of coal and natural gas-fired power plants. From a CO2 point of view, this is madness, and there is another point: the supposedly more environmentally friendly versions of energy production, such as wind or solar power, are not nearly as environmentally friendly as advertised by politicians because of current production practices. We will analyze these aspects objectively and in more detail.

Myriad Uranium, E.ON, RWE - What about our energy security?

Since April 15, 2023, nuclear energy has no longer been produced in Germany. The last 3 power plants were taken off the grid. Only time will tell whether this decision was sensible. At the end of last year, 422 reactors were operating worldwide, and 57 nuclear power plants were under construction, according to the World Nuclear Industry Status Report. Another 62 plants are in the planning stage. Demand for uranium has increased, and the price of uranium has climbed accordingly. Today we look at one uranium company and see what the German utilities are doing.

Nuclear Power - No Thanks! E.ON, GoviEx Uranium, BASF - Questionable energy transition made in Berlin

  • Uranium

  • renewableenergies

Renewable energies are in focus! All well and good - Germany is repositioning itself. The focus is to be on hydropower, wind and solar energy. But these energy sources have little baseload capacity because hydroelectric power plants use "cheap" night electricity to pump water uphill, and reliable wind is probably only available offshore and not in the middle of Saxony. That brings us to the sun: On average, in our latitudes, it shines for about 146 hours a month, but in Alicante, it is 349 hours. Of course, large rooftop systems pay off for well-located households and one's e-mobile, but we cannot get a nationwide basic supply going with them. In the supply crisis, Berlin is relying on coal and gas power generation for now, but the much-touted climate neutrality is likely to be postponed to the next millennium. What should investors now keep an eye on?

Clean energy is a dream for humanity. Property owners can fulfil the dream of clean energy by installing photovoltaic systems. But what about when large industrial companies, such as BASF, need electricity? While renewable energy has to be stored temporarily, nuclear power plants deliver reliably. The technology, which is frowned upon in Germany, is currently experiencing a revival worldwide. We explain which forms of energy also have a future for investors.

RWE, Myriad Uranium, Cameco - The best environment ever

The geopolitical events of 2022 have heightened concerns about the security of supply and, combined with the ongoing focus on climate change, have created transformative tailwinds for the nuclear power industry. While Germany's last three nuclear reactors face shutdown, major industrialized nations are relying on zero-carbon nuclear power. As a result, the uranium price should be poised for a brilliant comeback after a bear market that has lasted for years.

With the exception of Germany, the world's largest industrialized nations are focusing on expanding nuclear energy to achieve the climate targets they have set. However, due to the Ukraine conflict and possible sanctions against Russia, growing demand has been met with limited supply. The US alone obtains almost half of the uranium it needs from state-owned companies in Russia or Kazakhstan. But rising demand is meeting a supply that is too tight. The primary beneficiaries here are Western companies in production or close to it.
