Motley Fool Hidden Gems Investing · Nuclear Energy Gets a Big Government Boost (Again) · 25 Jun 2026 podcast

So that's kind of what's happening here.

To make this happen, there has to be the money.

And the government is saying, we'll give you the money if you can make it happen.

Yeah, I mean, it'll be interesting to see.

They are creating some special purpose vehicles to build out these five major projects.

And so it really does depend on, I could see there being some smaller players that get part of these jobs that for them, it actually is quite a significant needle moving event.

But as you point out, some of these energy companies are quite large.

And so maybe a single nuclear reactor, though that is significant as far as the

national security aspect goes, but from a business point of view, maybe not a huge material driver of results.

On those lines, Tyler, if you're a new investor listening to this podcast, I would encourage you to figure one thing out really quickly.

Learn the difference between investing in the future and speculating on it, because that's a huge difference.

We do want to be forward-looking in our investment theses, but there is a point where we cross over to, we're just speculating on a very...

unlikely scenario playing out in the future and being a big winner if that happens, rather than actually investing in what's happening right now and where it's going.

Anecdotally, you know, I believe in hydrogen fuel cells.

I do like that concept.

And a friend came to me several years ago wanting to invest in Nikola, and that's what Nikola was really kind of pushing for, these hydrogen fuel cells.

And I encourage this friend of mine, be careful with this stock because, yeah, while there's some cool ideas here, it's not really a business.

They're not really making anything yet.

And it turns out that that company went bankrupt before they reached production.

I think that in the nuclear industry right now, we're seeing some companies come to the market that I think will eventually go to zero.
