Uranium supplies and the claims about breeder reactor efficiency are far from certain. Nuclear would never even be where it is without massive government subsidy. Its cost effectiveness is questionable. The whole business smells fishy. Back of the envelope calculations on tidal power and ocean wave induction are tantalizing. Truly massive amounts of energy are there to be tapped with relatively simple technology. Existing river hydro-power production, which is substantial, could easily be dwarfed. For whatever reasons the boys with the billions have chosen not to explore this route. http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=9344 http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/ws/index.php?pid=9344 http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/09/26/1096137100758.html http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/09/26/1096137100758.html
