Uranium Market (Sponsored)

On Behalf of Azincourt Energy Corp

And the world’s wealthiest, most powerful investors are moving in—Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, and Sam Altman.

They’ve made their billions in tech revolutions like Amazon, Microsoft, and OpenAI. Now, they’re betting big on nuclear energy.

  • Gates: His Natrium reactor secured $3 billion in funding.

  • Bezos: Backing a fusion energy startup.

  • Altman: Building reactors powered by nuclear waste.

Governments are following suit. The US just poured $6 billion into nuclear energy, while the Trump administration is fast-tracking policies to boost domestic uranium production.

For investors, this is a perfect storm.

The last uranium boom turned a tiny $0.60 stock into a $3.11 billion powerhouse.

The next one could be happening right now.

Dominion Energy Secures $7B Credit Facility to Support Utility Operations

Dominion Energy (NYSE: D) has finalized a $7 billion revolving credit agreement to support its ongoing utility operations and corporate finance programs. The new facility replaces and expands the company’s previous arrangement, offering long-term access to capital through 2030.

Executives finalized the agreement with the participating banks, including JPMorgan Chase Bank, which serves as the administrative agent. The updated terms allow Dominion Energy and two core subsidiaries, Virginia Electric and Power Company and Dominion Energy South Carolina, to access the full commitment, with adjusted sub-limits based on usage across co-borrowers.

Facility proceeds will support bank borrowings, commercial paper programs, and standby letters of credit. These tools are key in maintaining funding flexibility for regulated utility operations, infrastructure maintenance, and general corporate needs.

Dominion also amended a separate $1 billion sustainability-linked credit facility, extending its maturity to 2028 and updating pricing terms. The revised terms reflect the company’s ongoing alignment of financial tools with operational goals.

Both agreements were disclosed in a recent Form 8-K filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company’s credit structure remains a key component of its overall capital strategy, particularly as it manages investments across its regulated service territories.

Dominion continues to use established banking relationships to ensure consistent access to working capital across its utility footprint.

Lucid Secures Nikola’s Arizona Plants to Grow U.S. Operations

Lucid Group (NASDAQ: LCID) has acquired key facilities from Nikola through a court-approved bankruptcy auction, strengthening its U.S. manufacturing presence. The deal includes more than 884,000 square feet of industrial space in Arizona, expanding Lucid’s vehicle production and testing capabilities.

The group presented a $30 million bid combining cash and non-cash considerations for multiple assets. The purchase includes Nikola’s Coolidge manufacturing facility and its former Phoenix headquarters, which are outfitted with development and testing infrastructure.

Equipment inside the facilities includes advanced battery testing chambers, machining systems, and a full-size chassis dynamometer. These assets align with Lucid’s previously announced growth plans in Arizona, offering immediate support for increased EV output.

Lucid intends to employ more than 300 former Nikola workers across various departments. Roles span software development, manufacturing engineering, vehicle testing, and warehouse operations. The company focused on retaining technical talent to support its ongoing expansion.

Bankruptcy proceedings concluded on April 10, finalizing the transfer of assets. Lucid’s team has begun integration efforts and expects operations to ramp up at the new sites soon.

These additions enhance Lucid’s long-term production capacity while reinforcing its commitment to localized EV manufacturing in the U.S. The court’s approval allows Lucid to control complete properties and related resources.

The Harsh Truth: Why Most Crypto Investors Lose Money

Energy (Sponsored)

On Behalf of Azincourt Energy Corp

The US barely produces any uranium—even as it pushes for energy dominance.

90 percent of America’s uranium is imported

The US produced just 121,296 pounds of uranium in Q3 2024

The Trump administration is scrambling to rebuild domestic supply

That’s why Canada’s uranium companies are perfectly positioned to fill the gap.

One uranium junior, sitting on high-grade assets in Canada’s Athabasca Basin and Central Mineral Belt, could become a key player in North America’s nuclear resurgence.

Momentum is building. And the market hasn’t caught on yet.

Chevron Faces Disruption in Venezuela as Crude Loadings Halt

Chevron (NYSE: CVX) has paused crude loadings in Venezuela after local authorities suspended multiple export authorizations. The disruption affects previously approved shipments as the company complies with updated operating restrictions.

Venezuela’s state-run oil company, PDVSA, rescinded permissions for Chevron to load and export crude from several terminals. The halted cargoes include both loaded and scheduled tankers. Two vessels filled with crude oil returned to port following the order, while a third shipment awaits revised instructions.

Chevron had been moving approximately 250,000 barrels daily under a special U.S. license. That authorization allowed continued operations in Venezuela despite broader restrictions. The most recent developments follow the expiration of those exemptions, which the U.S. Treasury revoked in late March.

Tankers previously operating under Chevron’s agreement must complete final transactions before a late May deadline. Shipping activity involving Venezuelan crude has slowed across the region as companies reassess loading schedules and regulatory compliance.

PDVSA issued the revised order in response to changing diplomatic and trade measures. Chevron will continue coordinating closely with relevant agencies to ensure legal and operational alignment throughout the transition period.

Operational teams review logistics, coordinate with transport partners, and manage adjustments to planned deliveries. These changes do not affect Chevron’s other regional operations, which continue under existing agreements and protocols.
