In fact China has so much of this shit that it can power the whole country for another 65k years - it's fucken insane. While Oz has the largest deposits of uranium in the planet India has the largest deposits of thorium - and what are both countries doing about it? Arguing over a fucken cricket match - its fucked!
Thorium reactors are a long way off though, we can't just keep burning coal until they're ready.
And you really want to pay way more for your electricity with nuclear power? Dutton's not even serious about it, it's just a delay tactic and a distraction to keep supporting the big mining company donors and to make it look like they've actually got an energy policy.
