The Bull Case for Uranium

Nuclear waste disposal is an engineering non-problem. You dig a deep hole, put the waste canisters in, fill up the hole. It'll stay put, just as uranium ore bodies have done for millions of years. Ignorant journalists and predatory politicians have managed to frighten the public - as if radioactive material buried more than a thousand feet down in the desert is going to magically reappear in Harry Reid's vodka martini 90 miles away in Vegas. of course, the rational thing is to recycle the extremely valuable spent fuel and further exploit this resource, just as France is doing. Why not worry about all the toxic material that burning coal is spreading around instead?
