The Uranium Logistics Problem

Рет қаралды 4,289

Nuclear power provides 10% of the worlds electricity and uranium is the fuel behind this. But with the concentrated nature of uranium production and enrichment services paired with the growing demand for the metal, the logistics of uranium is going to have to change in an ever-changing world.

This is the perfect and last chance to get uranium stocks at these prices

We need to change to Thorium for obvious reasons !

Thank you.

This is really high quality content thank you! You focus on the key elements of the logistic problem in the correct proportions to paint the best picture of the geopolitical power dynamics involved. I would love to see a similar video about a topic like orbital logistics and how different latitudes affect the viability of different orbits and how this might affect space mining in the future. Keep being consistent and you will succeed!

Thanks Dawid. Interesting suggestion, I will have to look further into that topic!

Or thorium or radium?

Yes, absolutely Thorium for our grandchildren. It has taken 70 years to make “break even”; ( energy out equal to energy in). For the next 50 years, it’s Uranium ,gas and coal, uranium being the cleanest and long term cheapest. This is the investment opportunity of a lifetime. It will be life changing for anyone who gets in at these levels.

That has always been the problem with uranium reactors. Very limited fuel supplies and very expensive to exploit. For that reason alone nuclear reactors never were economically viable. Solar and wind are 10 times cheaper.

And they are 100x less reliable. Minor detail you leave out.

@@TheRustyLM nothing more reliable than the sun. It shines every day. Besides you can store solar energy to use at night.

Nope, the exact opposite is true. We have about 2 billion years worth of uranium and another 2 billion years worth of thorium. 1 kg of uranium worth about $50 bucks can supply your lifetime of energy.

@@chapter4travels I'm talking about fissionable material. U238 cannot be used in a nuclear reactor. Nor can Th232.
