Obama Nuclear Plan Go Hand in Hand with Nuclear ETFs

obama nuclearObama is going nuclear, which is why the Prodigy is picking two solid nuclear ETFs, hello to iShares S&P Global Nuclear Index Fd ETF (NASDAQ:NUCL) and Market Vectors Nuclear Energy (ETF) (NYSE:NLR).



President Obama and his administration will provide more than $8 billion in loan guarantees to help build a nuclear power plant in Georgia.


"We're going to have to build a new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants in America," Obama said. "This is only the beginning. My budget proposes tripling the loan guarantees we provide to help finance safe, clean nuclear facilities."


The budget would add $36 billion to an existing $18.5 billion in available loan guarantees, for a total of $54.5 billion. Federal regulators are reviewing applications for 22 plants to be built in the next two decades.
