You can't grow this fuel - and it is pretty rare too, much rarer than oil. Take a look on how many years we have of uranium left, it isn't much. It is possible that some new reactors would be finished, and have to be shut down because of Peak Uranium!
Pretty short sighted

There's nothing fundamentally wrong with using non-renewable resources. Since a lot of these do not form an active part of the Earth's ecosystem then we would gain nothing by leaving them in the ground (e.g. oil, minerals, uranium etc). You could argue for the
responsible use of non-renewable resources but there is no rational basis for their non-use.
