uranium is very hot commodity these days too
i think the nuke-maxis don't really understand how scarce the materials that can run nuclear plants actually are
i say, go back to coal, we can make them clean now anyway (and the ones that are running now are a lot cleaner than they used to be)... and all they need to do is scale them down to neighbourhood size and the hard problem is just distributing a highly inert, relatively energy dense solid material to use for the job
anyway, it will be fun to see how this all pans out because as i see it the only real way we can maintain our current population in the next 50 years is going to be if we have antimatter generators
there will be enough carbon and radioactive materials to get us there but it's also going to require a substantial destruction of the science-destroying oligarchies running the governments
