There are also many tonnes of gold dispersed in rivers and seawater. It is however not economical to extract it.
Also, uranium mining is often causing a lot of health problems. Like in the German SAG/SDAG Wismut:

- wjkramer 6y agoI think an example from the former East Germany is not generally applicable. Political enemies were forced to work there. Unless Antifa wins and can implement the cited policies: "People were ordered to start working in the uranium mines otherwise there would be strict sanctions for them."
- adamsea 6y agoIt’s just silly to introduce “Antifa” (which isn’t a singular thing) into a discussion about the pros and cons of nuclear power.
- jnxx 6y agoSo, would the Eastern German governments political friends have been less susceptible to these health effects? And, in order to not wander too far off topic of energy economics, how is the extraction of uranium from seawater going to be economical?
