General Matter CEO Scott Nolan: "Just like car engines need fuel, nuclear reactors need fuel. Right now, the U.S. is completely dependent on other countries to make the key step of enrichment...and these Executive Orders are going to pave the way for the U.S. to regain its lead."

The U.S. spent decades outsourcing nuclear fuel production while Washington slept - now we're paying the price. The U.S.-European Nuclear Energy Cooperation Act throws $30M/year at "countering Russian influence" through 2029, but that's pocket change compared to the real problem: America's enrichment capacity atrophied as we became dependent on Moscow for 30% of our reactor fuel and 100% of next-gen HALEU production. Previous administrations let Rosatom become the OPEC of nuclear fuel while gutting domestic capabilities. The solution isn't more international committees - it's laser-focused investment in proven technologies like Centrus' AC100 centrifuges and fast-tracking projects like URENCO's New Mexico expansion. Energy dominance requires fuel sovereignty - no more begging adversaries to power our reactors.

The nuclear renaissance is here! Enabling the transition to low-carbon energy, $NUKZ focuses on companies revolutionizing the nuclear industry, from reactor design to fuel management. Consider taking part in the renaissance.

@ScottNolan BREAKING: General Matter CEO @ScottNolan reveals U.S. dependence on foreign nuclear fuel! But let's not forget, Hillary Clinton already sold out America's uranium to Russia back in 2010. Maybe she thought it was a "reset button" for our energy policy? #UraniumOne

When @ScottNolan at @foundersfund generously took over for @tweetoferic and @cyantist when they moved to our other investors @8vc and @longjourneyvc, he candidly told me he had never used psychedelic medicine and wasn't yet a 100% believer, even if the fund was. I told him psychedelics are to mental health what nuclear is to energy: the best tech yet developed for one of our biggest challenges but long impeded by irrational stigma and over regulation. Prediction: this is the decade we finally right the wrongs of the past, unlock both at scale, and make everyone wonder how in the hell we didn't earlier.

Nolan’s comparison is spot on fuel is the lifeblood of nuclear power, and relying on others for enrichment is a strategic vulnerability. Executive orders aiming to bring that process back home could strengthen energy security and technological leadership. It’s a necessary step for independence.

Will Hillary ever be charged for the Uranium One treason? @POTUS

@ScottNolan @PeteHegseth trying to figure out what to do with his arms

@ScottNolan That's incredibly important. How can we have outsourced so many National Security items outside of our Country?

@ScottNolan The United States is a next exporter of oil. Just stop exporting.

@ScottNolan Then let’s get going and get VC summer going and build data center right here in South Carolina!

@ScottNolan Exactly, America must control its own energy destiny. These orders unlock our power, break foreign chains, and reignite industrial dominance. The path to strength runs through nuclear—and now we’re leading it, not begging for it.
