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

I had read somewhere that we are having enough uranium to last around 100 years at current consumption rates. Moreover thorium too can be used as fuel and it is abundant.
Above all if during all this time we can build faster reactors, the same fuel can be used for much much longer time.
Please pardon me if I am wrong.
