    It’s one of my caveats with regards to nuclear energy. Because last I checked Western European countries don’t have uranium reserves. I know Africa isn’t the only source of uranium for these countries but when you look at how Niger’s uranium sources are or were managed you can ask yourself questions about its cleanliness.

      68% of the worlds uranium is mined in Khazahstan, Canada, and Australia. Uranium isn’t a primary export of any African market for the exception of French colonial states shipping to France, who demands those exports because it’s cheaper due to political influence.
