Year To Date Performances:

1. General Motors (GM) has agreed to form a joint venture with Lithium Americas Corp., providing $625 million in cash and credit to develop the Thacker Pass lithium mine in Nevada. The mine will produce lithium carbonate, crucial for electric vehicle (EV) batteries. GM will hold a 38% stake in the project, which aligns with its goal of securing U.S.-sourced materials for its EV supply chain. This deal builds on GM's previous $320 million investment in Lithium Americas to strengthen domestic lithium production.

2. Tech giants like Google, Amazon and Microsoft are turning to nuclear energy to meet the rising power demands of AI-driven data centers. Google recently partnered with Kairos Power to purchase energy from small modular reactors by 2030. Amazon has partnered with Dominion Energy to develop a modular nuclear reactor in Virginia. Microsoft signed a deal to revive the defunct Three Mile Island reactor. The companies aim to secure reliable, clean energy as global electricity consumption from AI and data centers is projected to more than double by 2026. Despite environmental opposition, proponents argue that nuclear power is crucial for reducing carbon emissions.
