The average construction time for a plant in the west is what… 17 years? Powering even our current needs would deplete all known resources (including those in the ground) within less than a decade. Nuclear is a pipe dream and the mining for it is dirty and leaves the earth polluted and the people and ecosystems nearby suffering long after mining is completed. SRSLY Wrong just did a great episode on clean energy that has a good part about nuclear energy also, I recommend everyone to listen to it, and if possible read the book by the guest also.
