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. |
