WASHINGTON DC (09/14/2023) – Today, the House passed H.R. 1435, the Preserving Choice in Vehicle Purchases Act, by a vote of 222-190.

WASHINGTON DC (08/07/2023) – Last week, the Biden administration’s Department of Energy (DOE) released its latest Critical Minerals Assessment, which included uranium as a near-critical supply risk for the United States both in the short term and the medium term.
