The bull market in uranium is over

I was having a coffee last week with mining entrepreneur Irwin Olian, catching up on the latest news with his companies. The weather was unusually nice and, in the afternoon sunshine, we were feeling relaxed and quite philosophical. Just as Irwin was observing how sometimes you can get the greatest insight into a market from an outsider, some students on the next table, who were loud, opinionated and not altogether ill-informed (like most students, really) declared that: "It's all over for nuclear power". "Why?" we asked them.
