    We don’t know we have centuries worth of stockpile. That’s just an assumption.

    In fact, I think it’s a foolish assumption to make since if the world’s nuclear powers haven’t been quietly prospecting the globe for new sources of Uranium since 1945, they sure should have been. But you don’t hear about a lot of new uranium mines opening.

    And what if this big stockpile us close to a major waterway? Or under a bunch of people’s homes?

    Acting like “we can just look and find more” as if it’s that simple doesn’t make sense to me.
