This said, I remember reading a few years ago that the world is fast running out of uranium, that there is only enough uranium left in the world to last about twenty years if no new nuclear plants are built - hence the desperate efforts at mining it in protected areas and against the will of the people whose land it is on.

There's an Australian aborigine who owns and controls a huge tract of land which happens to be very rich in uranium ore - he refuses to sell his land, it is sacred to his people. The problem is that he has no children or family to whom he can bequeath it, so after he dies, the Australian government is bound to grab his land and immediately begin mining. I can't remember where I saw the article about this, it was a few years ago, and I can't find it with google.
