Securing Our Own Nuclear Supply Chain

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. FULCHER. Mr. Speaker, there is no reason our Nation should be importing natural resources from Russia as we have an abundance of untapped energy resources right here under our feet.

H.R. 1042, the Prohibiting Russian Uranium Imports Act, represents a crucial step forward in protecting our national security, safeguarding our interests, and ensuring the responsible use of nuclear energy within the United States.

We must recognize the importance of having safe nuclear energy in our national energy portfolio and the related need for responsible sourcing of critical minerals like uranium.

The risk of relying on Russian imports is just too high. Becoming energy independent will make us stronger in the long run. We must utilize our domestic resources and our trustworthy friends. Let us consider the strategic importance of securing our own nuclear supply chain.

By passing H.R. 1042, we affirm our commitment to energy independence, national security, and responsible governance.
