How dependent is France on Niger's uranium?

The question is more like: "How dependent is France on uranium which is a finite resource?"

"The demand for uranium continues to increase, but the supply is not keeping up. Current uranium reserves are expected to be depleted by the end of the century, and new sources of uranium are hard to find. As a result, uranium prices have been steadily rising, with some estimates predicting a doubling of prices by 2030. This is causing a global uranium squeeze, where the demand for the resource is outstripping the supply."

France: Let's build more nuclear plants, also do not invest into renewable energy, also since we are used to wars for oil, why not having wars for uranium in the future too?

I wonder how long until all those people always glorifying atomic energie come here...

Usually this community is full of them even in threads only talking about renewables.

This is one of the main problems with atomic energy that we haven't got any idea how to solve - Germany got pretty much all of their uranium from Russia - France from an unstable country like Niger - it's just not something you can extract easily in countries that care about their citizens so it'll always come from a shitty place.

I wonder how the Venn diagram looks between those people that defend atomic everywhere and the people telling you all about how bad electric cars are because of their batteries...

Canada's Uranium City is coming back baby.

Niger: we want to use our uranium for our future nuclear plants

France: you can't, you could become dangerous like Iran. You have no future, remember, we will nuke you now instead
