I agree

This green revolution will be forced to slow down and wait for generating capacity to catch up. I have seen no news about anyone beginning construction on new generating capacity.

To say nothing about the need to overhaul and increase the capacity of the overall electric grid.

There is Tantalum there too BM! but c'mon bro let's get the mine into production as a first priority sir. I do agree with you - Nuclear Power should become a major piece to the World Energy Puzzle as BASELOAD power my friend! They can also produce Hydrogen as a byproduct & can be utilized along with Fuel Cells etc...& a conventional Hydrogen running unit in combination... (Just gotta get on with a major build out again! The grid too... )
I worked on a few in my day not just Fossil Units. Newer SMR's, Graphite, Thorium & Salt reactors are cool as well. They just need to pick one or two & get on with it to be cost effective moving forward. Fusion is still a way off imho.

Uranium risks becoming the next critical minerals crisis

In the 70's Nuclear was the answer for cheap, clean energy... Our country never produced a great National Energy policy (TVA days etc.. exceptions). Instead we catered to cheaper Coal & Big OIL & the "Shale" revolution & now produce the cheapest "Fossil fuel" & World Energy. (This did serve a purpose & I have built many such units)

IF we are going to move forward to Cleaner Sources T.B.D. We can & must do better going forward....

Just my two cents...

Maybe our children will sir....
