Energy experts warn that an acute shortage of uranium is going to hit the nuclear energy industry.

Not if we reprocess fuel, rather than just dumping everything after one run through. Not if we build breeder reactors. Not if we build reactors to use thorium. Probably not even if we do none of these things, we find more uranium over time, and find new ways to extract it from previously marginal sources, and have more incentive to do so as it becomes relatively scarce and expensive.
