Quote:He does say Uranium will last at most 800 years. That's if we manage to find every last atom on earth. Personnally, I think the supplies won't be able to cope with demand long before then (not even speculating on the price of that last atom).
He doesn't say anything about "every last atom." Indeed, he breaks down exactly what he is talking about, and it doesn't involve tearing up the entire earth's crust for every scrap of Uranium. His numbers are just the sum of known sources, predicted sources, and unconventional sources *that cost less than $130/kg*.
Once again, I think you are misreading what he is saying. It does not support your contentions, rather, it undermines them for all but the longest conceivable time frames.
