486: Why Energy Might Be the Smartest Way to Invest in AI

The Wealth Formula Podcast by Buck Joffrey Archives - Wealth Formula

Artificial intelligence isn’t just a passing trend—it’s a revolutionary force reshaping industries, driving innovation, and changing the way we live.

But as investors, we face a critical challenge: how do we capitalize on this seismic shift without falling into the trap of picking winners and losers in an unpredictable landscape?

History has shown us how tough it is to get it right with emerging technologies. The dot-com era gave us Amazon and Google—grandslam investments that transformed early believers into billionaires. But for every Amazon, there was a Pets.com, a tale of overhyped potential that never materialized.

With AI, the stakes are even higher. We know the technology is real, and we know it will grow exponentially. But betting on individual AI companies can be like playing the lottery.

What we do know with certainty, however, is that AI is an energy beast. The computing power required to train and run large AI models is staggering—and it’s only going to increase.

That’s why I believe one of the smartest ways to invest in AI might not be through AI stocks at all. Instead, it could be by focusing on the foundation AI cannot exist without: low-cost energy.

While solar, wind, and traditional energy sources will play a role, one energy source stands out as particularly intriguing: uranium.

Nuclear energy powered by uranium is not only incredibly efficient but also one of the most consistent and scalable sources of clean energy. As demand for reliable energy surges to support the AI revolution, uranium could become an unsung hero in this story.

To explore this idea in more depth, I recently sat down with a uranium expert. We discussed the global energy landscape, why nuclear power is gaining traction as the world looks for low-carbon solutions, and how uranium might play a critical role in fueling the next wave of technological innovation.
