Here’s a stat that surprised us: 10% of the world’s energy production comes from uranium and nuclear power.
Nuclear power has been the topic of conversation in the context of the world’s transition to a zero emission energy grid. While solar and wind power are abundant, they can be volatile, so the question has been what replaces coal as a baseload power source.

The likelihood is that all of these technologies will play a role in our zero emission future.
That creates an investment opportunity for investors looking to invest in new and emerging technologies. This article from Global X walks through the investment case for nuclear energy, the risks for investors and the potential if more and more countries adopt nuclear as part of its energy mix.
