I think those numbers unfairly assume many things, including: - breeder reactors will not exist in time - we will not find more uranium on Earth than we have

I think those numbers unfairly assume many things, including:
- breeder reactors will not exist in time
- we will not find more uranium on Earth than we have already
- we will not be able to economically extract uranium from seawater, phosphate minerals, coal fly ash or other sources
- other materials besides uranium will not be used in the future
- synthetic production will not become viable
To say that nothing will change in the next 40-70 years and we will simply run out of material and stop using nuclear altogether, just seems quite far-fetched in my opinion.
