I'm actually involved in this field of electricity generation and this is an telling chart.

Uranium itself is pretty finite as well. If we start using it to provide for all our "current needs" it too will run out in about 50 years.

I doesn't make much sense to replace one finite resource by another of equal duration.

The only real reserve is coal with 200 years but that has serious drawbacks of its own.
