Hypothetical Basket to capture AI energy needs and oil shortage

I did some research into nuclear, oil, and gas companies, and then put them into latticeAI and this was the suggested basket with $2500 and an emphasis on value:

|Ticker|Role|Optimized %|Dollar Amount on $2,500|
|:-|:-|:-|:-|
|**FANG**|Higher-quality oil E&P|**20.82%**|**$520.50**|
|**BKR**|LNG / compression / energy infrastructure|**19.16%**|**$479.00**|
|**CEG**|Nuclear-heavy AI power generation|**17.68%**|**$442.00**|
|**DVN**|Oil/gas value-beta exposure|**17.24%**|**$431.00**|
|**GEV**|Grid / gas turbine / electrification|**15.21%**|**$380.25**|
|**BWXT**|Nuclear supply chain / defense|**9.89%**|**$247.25**|
|**Total**||**100.00%**|**$2,500.00**|

Some thoughts that I had outside of this was potential tanker plays (ECO, FRO seem really attractive but already inflated, are these usually a "wait for the dip" type play?), or some more diversified styles like just buying NLR. GEV seems a bit inflated right now but is so compelling as a company, and CEG has some headwinds with "The Ratepayer Protection Pledge" if I'm understanding the macros there right. I'd love to hear the community's thoughts on Nuclear and Oil right now. This is mostly just hypothetical but I'm considering adding some of this to my portfolio to diversify a bit (im very heavy in AI/NVDA).


Copper has also seemed interesting with a BHP/COPX split but the headwinds are also real - If we hit recession manufacturing will be way down and there are plenty of tariff issues as well...
