Australia owns 80% of the world's uranium, why export it when nuclear power is an option?

great question i did not realize that they had 80 % of the uranium .there is one thing wrong with your question.who would they sell electrical power to. deep sea cables are expensive.the only thing they really have is sand and heavy clay. Great beer. they do export great meat,fruit ,vegetables ,people They can process the uranium for nuclear plants. Australians are great people. I think they will continue to become a great example for the world
