Well conditioned (fissable) Uranium is not infinite either. If all electricity consumption would be done by nuclear reactors then in 40 to 50 years we would run out of that as well. Basically the same period as with easily accessible oil now.

But of course the main problem with nuclear energy is that the US won't allow any other non Allied state to develop that energy source for civilian use because of their fear of somebody else ever having the "A-bomb".

This isn't linked to any knowledge about the Uranium enridgement proces as that can only produce highly enriched uranium and so produce Atomic bombs (max 50kt). The real scare is about thermo nuclear (several Megatons) devices and that is a different animal. The worry is of course that nuclear reactors produce Plutonium as a side product, which is what you need for a thermo nuclear device. You can get this out of the spent fuel through reprocessing.

Many people don't understand the difference between an atomic bomb and a thermo nuclear bomb. But then again there is alot more that plain people simply don't understand. Global warming is one of these things.
