Nuclear is on the upswing. Shares in nuclear-fuel producers


Cameco


and


Centrus Energy


are up 17% and 16%, respectively, in the past month.

It isn’t just stocks. Oliver Stone aired his documentary Nuclear Now! to a packed screening in Davos. Stone argued that nuclear could be a climate-crisis solution and criticized some environmentalists for opposing it.
