Demand for uranium in nuclear reactors is expected to climb by 28% by 2030 and nearly double by 2040 as governments ramp up nuclear power capacity to meet zero-carbon targets, the World Nuclear Association (WNA) said in a report on Thursday.

Nuclear capacity is expected to rise by 14% by 2030 and surge by 76% to 686 GWe by 2040, the report said

This is only good news if it displaces thermal coal and gas generating stations.

    A lot of lies of wrong stuff here

    You’re certainly doing your part. Example:

    The environment for example is much more damaged by renewables, because you need truckloads of space to build the wind or solar farm

    Utilizing available space for renewables is hardly damage, is it? The rest of your post isn’t much better.

      Available space is free to build? That’s the least ecologist sentence I read in an ecology or energy discussion. Next you’ll tell me green fuel is renewable and green won’t you?

      And it usually ignores the need for energy storage. Both solar and batteries need high quantities of minerals
