Host Brian Leni interviews Justin Huhn of UraniumInsider.com about uranium market fundamentals and investing. Huhn explains Kazatomprom’s India supply deal as a large long-term contract that signals more Kazakh production being committed to eastern sovereign buyers, tightening availability for Western utilities.
Huhn discusses opaque contracting terms, utility inventory practices, producer forward sales, and expected production declines at major mines, plus Kazatomprom’s sulfuric acid constraints and value-over-volume strategy. Huhn o...

Uranium Unleased people reported in late February 2026 that uranium is not just a fuel. Governments don't think so. In this video, we expose the hidden shift happening right now — sovereign nations and tech giants are quietly reclassifying uranium from a commodity into a strategic national asset.
From secret bilateral deals between Kazakhstan and India, to the U.S. banning Russian uranium, China building strategic reserves, France renationalizing its nuclear supply chain, and Microsoft, Google and Amazon locking in nuclear power for AI —...

The Uranium Unleased people produced a video on nuclear waste. Most investors focus on the "front end" of nuclear energy—uranium mining and reactor builds. They are missing the bigger picture. In this deep dive, we expose the "Duration Inversion": the mismatch between a reactor's 50-year life and the 10,000-year obligation to manage its waste.
This isn't just a cleanup story; it's a technology revolution transforming a liability into a massive asset class. We break down the companies building the infrastructure to recycle 95% of the energy...

Edamatsu and Iwasawa reported in mid-February 2026 that a Japanese research team has lifted mud from the seabed 5,700 meters below the surface that contains rare earth elements, a feat that could eventually strengthen Japan’s hand in high-tech manufacturing. The test was carried out around Minami-Torishima, a remote island about 1,800 kilometers south of Tokyo, the research team said Feb. 2.

AI Revolution reported in later February 2026 that China just showcased a new phase of humanoid robotics in public, with full-size robots performing sword dances, martial arts, parkour, aerial flips, and real-time recovery on national television. Robotera’s L7 demonstrated whole-body coordination with a fifty-five-joint system, Unitree’s G1 and H1 executed high-speed kung fu routines and three-meter flips in synchronized groups, and Agibot’s Expedition A3 delivered individual agility demos with no CGI involved.

Ciais and 41 co-authors reported in early February 2026 that methane levels spiked in the early 2020s when the atmosphere temporarily lost much of its ability to destroy the gas. Methane concentrations in the atmosphere climbed at an unprecedented pace in the early 2020s due to a combination of weaker natural removal and rising emissions from warming wetlands, rivers, lakes, and agricultural areas.
Methane surged after 2020 when a cleaner atmosphere and a wetter world

Little opined in late February 2026 that for those with eyes to see and ears to hear, the past 90 days have been a blur. I’ve been trying to finish a different blog post for six weeks — the conclusion to my Claude Code series from January. But the tools keep leapfrogging my writing: Claude Cowork brought Claude Code’s power to a dead-simple interface anyone can use. Then, about the time my podcast co-host and I began a five-week course for intermediate students, the OpenClaw advance struck like thunder and lightning.

Finn opined in Febraury 2026 that in the next 12 months you will likely fall into 1 of 2 groups. The permanent underclass or the permanent overclass. Bad news: you will be stuck there. Good news: you can decide which you fall into. So what is the 'permanent underclass'?
Right now there are 2 kinds of people: those adopting AI and those not. Right now the people who adopt the latest AI tech have significantly more economic power than those who don't. They can build and create value for the world significantly faster.

The Uranium Unleashed people reported in late February 2026 that China isn't buying uranium—it's annexing the supply chain. This 7-minute video reveals the structural bifurcation splitting global uranium into Eastern vs Western markets, with Beijing locking up 29% of supply through $5.8B 2025 stockpiles, Brazil mine grabs ($340M for 5% global reserves), and Alashankou's RMB trading hub.

Uranium Unleashed reported in late February 2026 that the four Horsemen of the Uranium Apocalypse are here—and they're creating the largest electricity demand surge in modern history. China's massive urbanization wave is colliding with explosive AI expansion and nationwide EV adoption, creating an unstoppable electricity tsunami that only nuclear power can solve. This isn't speculation—it's already happening.
