    Default another chance to make a one time bet on gov't energy policy change ...

    (snip)"Sweden should become an excellent test case for a change in Australia’s Three-Mines policy. Sweden’s September election could officially set back the worldwide anti-nuclear movement and further change attitudes in the European Union. This weekend’s G8 Summit in St. Petersburg may have already spurred emotions for a more favorable climate toward nuclear energy.

    Uranium mining, the front end of the nuclear cycle, is sometimes ignored in the greater scheme of the nuclear renaissance. Yet, if a country hopes to become energy independent, it must cultivate its domestic resources. Sweden, again, may become a test case on this point as well. (snip)

    "As Hudson told us, “There’s less technical risk with our projects, but more political risk. People want to punt on the political change, essentially.” This may well come about after September 17th."(snip)

    The above refers to the upcoming election in Sweden where a significant issue will be the possible 're-legalization' of uranium mining and a renewed expansion of Sweden's nuclear power industry to counteract an increase in imported oil. Like the US ethanol industry versus US gov't policy change on MBTE vs ethanol as a gasoline additive, this possible change in Swedish gov't energy policy represents another high risk 'bet' for investors who might choose to purchase stock in the companies which would be positively affected by a change in Swedish gov't regulations - in this case uranium mining company Mawson MAW.TO and probably reactor / power equipment company Areva CEI.PA or Toshiba (Westinghouse) TOSBF .
