We have enough to last about 500 years. Seriously.
Well, I don’t have the stats but if we were talking actual costs of delivering say 1 million kilowats of electricity to a community by nuclear power versus coal power plants, I think they are pretty even. Someone correct me it I am wrong. Keep in mind that either one is charging exactly what the market will bear right now. A good indicator would be which one is turning a higher profit over all.
We have enough uranium to last thousands of years if we go with a breeder system like the French Super-Phenix and fuel re-processing.
‘But the trainload of coal is cheaper than the reactor, by miles. It isn’t the fuel cost, it is the whole equippage.”
Only because of the roadblocks put up in front of nuclear energy. In the early 70s nuke plants cost a fraction of what they did 10 years later.
