and supplied links to the Oil Drum. Peak oil claims are not 
compelling to me, and I think these claims for (anytime soon) peak 
uranium make some of the same mistakes. A crucial one being to assume 
that current sources and current methods of extraction are all that's 
possible. The history of oil extraction shows how silly that assumption is.

A more balanced assessment can be found here:

That source does distinguish between different grades of uranium and 
notes the potential (terribly underutilized) of reprocessing.
