Uranium ‘has to be part’ of electrification, says Dev Randhawa
Dev Randhawa, EY Entrepreneur of the Year and CEO of Fission 3.0. a uranium project generator, nuclear remediation and exploration company, believes that zero emission goals through wind and sun power is a ‘cruel joke.’
The continued industrialization and urbanization of the global economy have thrust energy security back to the fore. According to uranium industry doyen Dev Randhawa, it creates a perfect storm to bring nuclear energy back into its critical role as the baseline power supply in a world increasingly reliant on unreliable renewable power sources such as solar and wind.
“If you simply take the math of how much electricity we need, how fast China and India are growing, and we want to electrify everything we can, it [uranium] has to be part of it,” Randhawa said in an interview.
