    Yeah, 10 years was a best case scenario, where you basically already have the plans drawn up and are ready to build. Not sure what your point about mines is, I’m assuming they’d be importing uranium?

        Yeah, the Russia issue is kind of hilarious. You’re trying to reduce fossil fuel use so you’re not dependent on Russia for energy, so instead you’re going to use nuclear, which uses fuel rods almost exclusively refined by Russia.

        Not sure if new mining would be needed, but I guess that depends on what happens in Niger.

        Sweden has uranium reserves and produced it’s own uranium in the 60-s. Though I think laws currently prevent mining.

          I’m sure they’ll take just as much care for indigenous reindeer herders when choosing where to poison thousands of km^2 of land as they did when using them for hostage shield politics to sabotage the wind rollout.

          Or is an entire country supposed to run indefinitely on the single year worth of reserves already known?
