Uranium Shortage?
If anyone is banking on nuclear power, this doesn't sound good...
I found this posted at SlashDot.org:
"Uranium mines provide us with 40,000 tons of uranium each year. Sounds like that ought to be enough for anyone, but it comes up about 25,000 tons short of what we consume yearly in our nuclear power plants. The difference is made up by stockpiles, reprocessed fuel and re-enriched uranium — which should be completely used up by 2013."
