That's one problem preventing a major shift towards EV's or even plug-in hybrids. However, this problem can be eliminated in short order by rolling back regulations and legislation limiting the ability of utilities to expand capacity and fuel source.
I don't see how the nation could sustain the level of demand necessary for the number of EVs they are talking about. I don't see any means, with the realms of reality, that this could be feasible.
Two points here:
For an equal power output, breeders consume less than 3% of the uranium required by a conventional light water reactor and generate far less waste. Breeders can also be designed to utilize thorium, which is more abundant than uranium.
I'm not a nuclear engineer and may not be aware of other nuclear technologies that may be superior to breeders that out government prevents us from developing and using.
That is fascinating information. I’ll read up on the Breeder reactors. Thanks!
