Bribery works.
If you want fair treatment from a corrupt government you have to pay for it.
Russia mines 43% of the world’s uranium (it would be higher if they held all of Ukraine) and most of that they just sold to China.
Because green energy is so wonderful

The Chinese love it. That’s why they continue to build coal power plants hoping that the warming will cause more of Northwest China to become fertile, and so they can push ahead with their plan to dominate the Arctic.
They pretend to support Nuclear and may even support funding, but they're counting on Enviro-whacko obstruction, because they don't really want a solution.
I predict that the world will suffer greatly from this. Things are very unstable. Nuclear power requires absolute stability in the world to even have a chance to work without causing devastation. Even then its a crap shoot. But everyone just wants their EV’s and big screen TV’s.
Too little, too late
It’ll be years before any benefit
““cheaper plants powered by natural gas, wind and solar.”
That’s a laugh.”
Wind and solar, yes, but a natural gas plant might be cheaper than nuclear.
But nuclear is so clogged with red tape and regulations that a fair competition isn’t possible.
It takes about 20 years to get a Nuke Reactor up and fully operational.
While nuclear is not much of a carbon producer, it is generally deemed unacceptable by the climate lunatics. Germany has completely shut down their nuclear plants.
Carter and the overreaction of Three Mile Island destroyed the nuclear industry in the this country. We would be who knows where if that had not happened.
That incident and the movie China Syndrome closed it all down with fear and hysteria.
45 years late in moving back to this given the time involved in approvals and the building of nuclear power plant and with today’s DEI stuff no way I want to be near any of that.
Has the angry Gretard been apprised of these developments?
China, Japan and South Korea build nuclear power plants in five to seven years. The 20 years it takes here is due solely to regulatory red tape and deliberate obstruction via green litigation.
Cheap election talk, but their EV scheme fails without nuclear energy.
All EV mfgs (except Tesla) will be out of business by the time the required nuclear facilities are online.
...so they’ve got to commit nuclear, or give up EVs.
That will be the story until after the election, if Biden wins, and on the first day after inauguration he will sign executive orders cancelling all the executive orders he initiated trying to buy enough votes to win election.
Three Mile Island was a black eye for nuclear construction in this country, and that lingered through many presidencies past Carter’s. (Interestingly, Reagan approved the sale of nuclear power plants to China in 1985. No US plants were initiated during his presidency.) The Fukushima disaster and the Westinghouse bankruptcy created further hurdles. The Infrastructure Act of 2022 targeted $6 billion for nuclear power plant construction.
Watts Bar in Georgia was the most recent commissioned, back in 2016, up till Vogtle-4 in Tennessee, which just went on-line last month.

Don’t count your profits yet, because he will change his mind after the election if he wins. It’s just another bait & switch gambit for the election.
France got 75% of it’s power from nukes. Don’t know what it is today. They do their own thing including testing in the South Pacific as well as murder in New Zealand.
Why does Biden continue to hold back the nuclear energy industry?
