    let me guess… you have never considered, that our uranium ore sources only cover up to 75 years of energy at current usage,

    1. Bullshit. Where’s your source?
    2. Let me guess, you’ve never actually put any real research into this topic in your life?
    3. You know there’s fissionable materials that aren’t Uranium, right?
    4. Oh looks, advancing tech that enables longer term usage of nuclear power: https://www.ebsco.com/research-starters/environmental-sciences/breeder-reactors

    it basically has the same issues as coal or oil.

    1. BULLSHIT
    2. Source?
    3. Wop wop, wrong: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/coal-ash-is-more-radioactive-than-nuclear-waste/

    factor in the mining of uranium ore also damages the workers and area it is mined in,

    Damn near every single metal you’ve interacted with was mined out of the ground and refined through inhumane conditions.

    The difference is those metals generally are just pollution and litter at the end of the day. Uranium and other fissionable materials can actually provide clean energy, and is often safer

    https://www.statista.com/statistics/494425/death-rate-worldwide-by-energy-source/

    it would not be feasible to add more than about 10-20% of nuclear energy generation of what is currently present

    Given everything else you’ve said is bullshit, I’m calling bullshit on this too.

    Also, source?

      “The currently identified uranium resources are sufficient to meet both low- and high-growth nuclear capacity needs through 2050 and beyond. However, these resources will require further development for production. In both scenarios, even if nuclear capacity remains stable at 2050 levels through the end of the century, cumulative demand could exceed the current identified uranium resource base of nearly 8 million tonnes by the 2080s under the high-growth demand scenario and by the 2110s under the low-growth demand scenario outlined in this edition.” IAEA Uranium 2024 report. https://www.oecd-nea.org/upload/docs/application/pdf/2025-04/7683_uranium_2024_-_resources_production_and_demand_2025-04-22_14-29-2_928.pdf

        In the longer term, advanced reactor designs and closed fuel cycles with recycling

        capabilities, if successfully developed, may have the potential to exploit existing uranium

        resources for at least several centuries, ensuring the long-term sustainability of nuclear energy.

        Additionally, unconventional uranium sources, such as phosphate deposits and black shales,

        could further extend uranium availability, particularly with the emergence of new technologies

        Can’t even read your own fucking sources 🤦
