Pricy uranium is no real problem, while lack of skilled people is a vast problem.

Not only for the nuclear industry but for oil, gas, coal mining, all other mining, welders, engineers and so on.

It's like none have been trained for 20 years. Everyone went into stock broking and marketing instead. Whoops.

Peak oil is not an energy crisis. It is a liquid fuel crisis.

Oh, technical people were trained all right. It's just that there were no jobs for them. 10 years ago we had a joke that when we got our physics degrees we'd end up selling washing machines.
