turbguy + 1,543 November 13 This is a well-thought out article, IMO. I had not thought about the full geopolitics of Uranium. At least, nowhere near THIS deep! Let's hear it Australia! https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Nuclear-Power/The-Future-of-Nuclear-Power-is-Wrought-with-Challenges.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hear it Australia! https://oilprice.com/Alternative-Energy/Nuclear-Power/The-Future-of-Nuclear-Power-is-Wrought-with-Challenges.html I've mentioned before nuclear is not renewable energy. I've promoted in the past doing "warheads into energy" which would both reduce the likelihood of an extinction level event war and provide clean energy. Sadly that time has passed - cold war 2 is on and now everybody is replacing their aging bombs. There are a lot of radioisotopes in seawater, but extracting it is difficult. Thankfully, the earth has a perfectly working fusion reaction - it just happens to be safely stored 148,000,000 Km away and transfers us essentially unlimited energy via waves. Canada has a decent amount of uranium - yay. Edited November 13 by TailingsPond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But to be able to compete with those that continue to build base-load fossil facilities, it's gonna be very handy to have for a few decades. At least it's operating emissions are much less bothersome than fossil fueled plants. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
