While I've kept my readers abreast of countries who have started to adopt the idea of nuclear for energy - places like France, Poland and Japan - one of the biggest holdouts on the global stage has been Germany.

Germany hasn't just been a holdout. The country has been hell-bent on ridding itself of nuclear power - easily making it the most prominent of the major European countries to try and pin the energy source as either too risky, bad for the environment, or both.

ut, as I've argued, advocates for nuclear power know that it is just the opposite: clean, efficient and safe. A key part of my argument for investing in uranium has been that the world is going to "wake up" one day and realize that nuclear power fulfills the practical energy needs of the world, while appeasing ESG investors and "green" activists at the same time.

For all intents and purposes, when considering the power it generates and its carbon footprint, nuclear is as close to a "holy grail" of energy that we have at the present moment - and it's certainly the most common sense solution to our energy needs.

Among the ethos that has developed in Europe right now, while the entire world focuses on ways to ostracize and sanction Russia, is the embrace of practicality.

In a wartime scenario, people don't have time to second-guess, pontificate or otherwise embrace any other type of bullshit that prevents them from getting from Point A (wartime and volatility) to Point B (peace and a return to 'normalcy') as quickly as possible.

There's been no better shining example of this than the Ukrainian people, who have transitioned from going about their daily lives to being forced to defend their home towns and their country, in just a matter of hours. Everyday citizens, whose morning routines days ago likely included making breakfast and getting ready for work, are now arming themselves with rifles and, "fighting for Kyiv".
