Amid rising electric bills, states are under pressure to insulate regular household and business ratepayers from the costs of feeding Big Tech’s energy-hungry data centers.
And where do you think is the nuclear fuel supply coming from? For the existing reactors but even more so for the newly planned plants?
Probably from Canada, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan or Australia, which accounts for close to 3/4 of current sources. Or possibly one of the other 6 countries that make up the rest of the non-russian uranium, since Russia only accounts for 12% of foreign sourced uranium as of 2022.
Try googling basic facts before spreading easily debunkable FUD.
Yes sure, I can also buy Russian uranium by middlemen located in other countries. There’s a lot of investigative pieces out there that dig deeper than your “basic facts”. The origin of most of the uranium is Russia. It’s a trap. And the US is currently planning ~200 new reactors. No country will be able to supply the amounts of fuel required except Russia. It’s no wonder that the Trump administration is desperately searching for normalization in the relationship with Russia to strike deals. And I’m not even starting to talk about the downsides of nuclear reactors (inflexibility) in a modern power system that needs to incorporate renewables.
