I work for the energy Department in the late 1970s. We were tracking uranium shipments for nuclear power plants that were on the books. The price of uranium shut up from $8 to $40 a pound when it became obvious that there was not going to be enough to supply all those power plants. Then one by one they all got canceled and what do you know, uranium fell back to $8.
