In general I agree *but* uranium ore is not an infinite resource
either. If we all switch from burning long dead trees to nuclear we
are simply buying some decades before we face the same problem again.
Not that renewables are a simple answer either as we'd need country
sized solutions based on wind or wave or whatever to supply our ever
increasing energy demand. Really we need to address our energy usage.

Fast Breeder Reactors, IIRC.

Uranium -- Plutonium + Power, then
lots of Cumbrian jobs, then
Plutonium -- Something-I-can't-remember + power, then....
