@Wirrvogel @CAVOK Uranium is not really finite. There is an upper limit to its cost, when it becomes commercially viable to extract it from sea water, which itself leeches it from the entire earth's surface. But before that, there are enough options, as uranium is much more ubiquitous, and more evenly distributed about the world than oil — and peak oil hasn't really happened either yet, despite forecasts for decades.
