Nuclear energy's status as a clean, cost-efficient, dependable power source is driving surging demand from artificial intelligence (AI) customers, putting a slew of nuclear energy stocks in the spotlight.
That includes a competition between Oklo (NYSE: OKLO) and Uranium Energy (NYSEMKT: UEC) , although from a pure performance perspective, it's not much of a race at all. Shares of Uranium Energy, which lays claim to the largest uranium resource base in the U.S., are up 29.8% this year, while Oklo is higher by a mere 1.05%.
