increasingly lower-grade ores for their fuel. Because that requires
more energy to extract, the process will result in ever-greater
amounts of climate-wrecking pollution."



? If uranium is already being used to generate energy, then that energy
is what would be used to do the ore extraction. That does not compute.

As long as you get more energy out of the uranium than is being used to
extract it, its a net plus on the energy stakes.

Ive heard the same argument about biofuels too.

The oil lobby has not gone away ..;-)
