We're not about to run out of Uranium, we've got tons of it just sitting around, waiting to be reprocessed. We also don't have to drill down 10 miles, then turn sideways to find more of it.
Nuclear just needs the fuel cycle to be closed again, as it was originally intended to be. The technology is known, and well proven, we just need to deploy it.
- LatteLazy 4y agoThe problem is you will run out of money long long before we run out of fossil fuels. And closed fuel cycles are great but they're even more expensive, and you're still going to end up with at least some waste. People think there is an easy simple answer to this. But there isn't. People think it's nuclear, and it is if you ignore the costs, the waste and the political issues. But then fossil fuels are a great solution... if you ignore all the issues.
