No Time for Nukes

Transcript of a news report on Nuke power containing some interesting factoids like how long it will take to build new ones and these questions: "will there be enough energy to build nuclear plants when global oil production goes into terminal decline? Nuclear power plants are built of tons of concrete and steel that require much energy to manufacture.
