Why America Needs More Uranium Mines: In...

Going Nuclear
About this episode

In this episode of Going Nuclear, Trevor Hall and Justin Huhn sit down with Colin Healey, CEO of Premier American Uranium, for a wide-ranging discussion on the future of uranium exploration and production in the United States. Colin shares his perspective after more than 16 years as a leading uranium equity analyst, explaining why today's supply-demand fundamentals, government policy, and growing nuclear demand create one of the strongest setups the sector has seen in decades. The conversation also explores Premier American Uranium's portfolio in Wyoming and New Mexico, the challenges and opportunities of permitting new uranium projects, and why domestic production has become a strategic priority for the United States. Trevor, Justin, and Colin also discuss the role of utilities, evolving contracting dynamics, and why the uranium market may be entering a period where producers have greater influence over pricing than ever before.
