One thought on “Why is the US Still Dependent on Russian Uranium?”
Chris Keefer, Toronto emergency room doctor and head of Canadians for Nuclear Energy, has just dropped a podcast from the Dubai CoP, where he discusses the challenges in tripling world nuclear output with some representatives from the industry. They’re mostly pretty upbeat about it. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9hbmNob3IuZm0vcy8yMzc3NTE3OC9wb2RjYXN0L3Jzcw/episode/ZWQ5NWJmN2YtYTY5OC00OWY5LWI2MjAtMzg0N2YzZDJmYjQ0?sa=X&ved=0CAUQkfYCahcKEwjYp8HloYmDAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQAg
Leading the power generation in the Lower 48 for the last week, gas was number one by a country mile, at 150-230 GW, with nuclear comfortably second at a steady 100 GW. Coal caught up with nuclear for about an hour or two, and wind overtook coal for one day, briefly almost matching nuclear. Essentailly though, without fossil fuels nearly every society on Earth would be in about the same situation as Gaza, but without the bombing. So would Israel – despite its sunny location, last month only 5% of the power generated there was from solar, vs 66% from gas and 28% from coal. Regional players Turkey and Egypt are each building four reactors, with nearly the same power output as the four in United Arab Emirates, for about ten percent of their power consumption.
