title: From Ghost Industry to National Priority
description: "This White House statement on critical minerals explicitly listed uranium as a critical mineral, and it looks like they’re actually considering a price floor guarantee.\n\nThe US used to be a powerhouse in uranium, but the industry is basically a ghost of its former self now.\n\nThe government seems to be stepping up and back producers with some real institutional support. Things like strategic stockpiling or a price floor could be a massive game-changer.\n\nBetween the skyrocketing power demand and energy security needs, support seems to be coming. \n\nSource: JH\n@CRUDEOIL231"
