“Americans are also very confused by the fact that 16% of the nuclear fuel consumed by American nuclear power plants comes from Russia, and 30% from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan, which is close to Russia’s position. Almost half of the uranium used by the United States comes from Russia: a little embarrassing for Joe Biden, who has included nuclear power in his plan to cut carbon emissions,” Mariani said.
