- pmoriarty 7y agoVery interesting. But it sounds like the technology is still in the research phase and there not yet commercially available (especially not on a large enough scale to make a dent in the demand for uranium mining at the moment). Contrast that with wind, solar and other renewable technologies which are widely available on large commercial scales right now.
