Nuclear power is having a moment: VanEck CEO

Nuclear energy, left for dead over the past thirty years or so, is back. 

“There has been a huge policy shift globally and there is now bipartisan support for nuclear, and we need it,” Jan VanEck, CEO of the firm that bears his name, told FOX Business’ Liz Claman. 

The rise of artificial intelligence and the increasing popularity of cryptocurrency will continue to push electricity consumption to record highs in 2025 and 2026, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). 

The revival has ignited the 18-year-old VanEck Uranium and Nuclear exchange traded fund, which has advanced 40% this year. The firm raised $1 billion in assets this year alone, he stated, with just under half of its total assets now sitting at $2.8 billion.

VanEck says the ETF stands out because it offers diversification.

“The kind of other ETFs out there we’re just uranium mining ETFs. And so, mining is okay, and uranium is okay, but you can actually have a lot of growth in the industry and uranium stays flat right depending on supply demand. So, we get the users, get the utilities that are leveraged into nuclear power, get some of the miners. But what’s really been the star over the last 12 months has been the new tech companies, the SMRs (small modular reactors) and they’ve rocketed” he explained.

MICROSOFT, THREE MILE ISLAND PROJECT AHEAD OF SCHEDULE

With the support of the Trump administration, the runway for growth looks solid after the signing of an executive order that aims to quadruple domestic nuclear power production over the next 25 years. 

“Trump has just pushed so hard on the adoption of this technology. They’re bringing online like Three Mile Island, one of their reactors, a year ahead of time. Like you haven’t had those words in that order in the nuclear industry for 30 years” he said. 

Ticker Security Last Change Change %
CEG CONSTELLATION ENERGY CORP. 307.19 -0.79 -0.26%
MSFT MICROSOFT CORP. 505.12 -1.57 -0.31%

The Three Mile Island Unit 1 reactor may restart in 2027, a year earlier than the initial 2028 timeline Constellation provided in September when it announced a power purchase agreement with Microsoft that the energy company said at the time would “pave the way” for it coming back online.
