let me guess... you have never considered, that our uranium ore sources only cover up to 75 years of energy at current usage, it basically has the same issues as coal or oil.
factor in the mining of uranium ore also damages the workers and area it is mined in, it would not be feasible to add more than about 10-20% of nuclear energy generation of what is currently present
Having worked in one the world's largest uranium mines, that second paragraph is so wrong
Damn near every single metal you've interacted with was mined out of the ground and refined through inhumane conditions.
The difference is those metals generally are just pollution and litter at the end of the day. Uranium and other fissionable materials can actually provide clean energy, and is often safer

Given everything else you've said is bullshit, I'm calling bullshit on this too.
Also, source?
"The currently identified uranium resources are sufficient to meet both low- and high-growth nuclear capacity needs through 2050 and beyond. However, these resources will require further development for production. In both scenarios, even if nuclear capacity remains stable at 2050 levels through the end of the century, cumulative demand could exceed the current identified uranium resource base of nearly 8 million tonnes by the 2080s under the high-growth demand scenario and by the 2110s under the low-growth demand scenario outlined in this edition."

Can't even read your own fucking sources 🤦
