While the world is seeking out alternative energy sources, nuclear energy is gaining some steam. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Hossein Sheikholeslam, recently said that his country needs nuclear energy as a substitute for its oil resources. <\/a> He is quoted as saying that, “Iran will have oil for over 100 years, but once its energy resources is depleted, nuclear energy will be the only logical substitute.”<\/p>\n

The United States isn’t quite as bullish on nuclear energy at this point in time, but Obama’s administration is going to flood dollars into infrastructure projects — many of which are to get us off our “oil addiction.” If you feel nuclear energy is a solution there is a way to invest on a global level. By selecting an exchange traded fund<\/a> (ETF) that is focused on the nuclear energy field you are essentially investing your money in several different companies across the globe who are leaders in this industry.<\/p>\n

Market Vectors Nuclear ETF<\/a> (NLR<\/a>) is an excellent way to diversify your investment in the nuclear energy field as they not only offer incredible global exposure, but also give you a chance to invest in a variety of aspects of nuclear energy generation, from uranium mining all the way through to fuel transport. With an investment in NLR you will get shares in British Energy (LSE: BGY.L) the U.K.’s largest producer of electricity, Exelon Corporation<\/a> (NYSE: EXC<\/a>) a utility services holding company, Constellation Energy Group<\/a> (NYSE: CEG<\/a>) and energy supply company for North America. You also get, in this basket, companies that supply materials necessary for building and running a nuclear power plant like Uranium One Incorporated (Toronto: UUU.TO) a Canadian based uranium mining and exploration company, as well as many other leaders in the field.<\/p>\n

Market Vectors charges only a 0.65% fee, a fraction of what a professional money manager would charge to analyze, research and select nuclear energy stocks with this level of global reach. Proving the global perspective, the top 10 holdings, representing 64.48% of the total assets, are listed below.<\/p>\n
