re: #664 Obdicut

The only way is to build nuclear? Really? You don’t think that any alternative energy will ever be able to provide power?

That’s going to suck for us when the radioactive materials run out, then.

Or did you just mean at this particular moment, with our current level of technology?

Nuclear materials aren’t going to run out anytime soon, even conservative estimates project 5K years or more. We’ve only used nuclear for approximately half a century, so if you think we know where all the sources of nuclear material are then you are probably mistaken.

That’s not counting the possibility of Thorium recovery either.
