the price of food, clothing and shelter goes through the roof because
we intentionally went down the path you outlined.


As I've pointed out, we have a choice. We can produce nuclear power,
to replace fossil fuel uses - some more easily than others. There's
plenty of low-hanging fruit. Uranium has a very concentrated energy
content, much more than fossil fuels, so hauling it to power plants
won't be a net energy loss.


It is not just the cost of transporting the uranium, but the cost of
mining and processing it, not to mention the increased costs of
engineering and constructing a nuke plant versus a coal, gas or oil-
fired plant. To a very large extent, if something costs more it is
because more energy was needed in its production. The EROEI on nuke
plants is still much lower than that of fossil fuels.
