Quote:When taking progress into account, the article estimates supplies to be sufficient up to ... 2025.
Where does it say that? I only see 2025 mentioned a handful of times. First is in the title, which describes the length of time the "red book" takes into account, not the point at which we run out of Uranium. It also says that by 2025, Uranium needs will go up 44%, but that existing resources are "adequate to meet this expansion." The final time is when it tells us outright that the whole idea of the study is to predict fuel needs up until 2025.
As far as I can tell, the article doesn't say we're going to run out in 2025. Are you certain you're interpreting it correctly?

Mr. Sokolov sure doesn't seem concerned.
