Uranium is the raw material of a power-elite who has taken Mother Earth's every living creature hostage. — Petra Kelly
Russia is opposed to the proliferation of mass destruction weapons, including nuclear weapons, and in this context we call upon our Iranian friends to abandon the uranium enrichment programme. — Vladimir Putin
What I am saying every day to Malawians is that time has come for us to move from aid to trade. We have picked several sectors that we think we can focus on immediately in order for us to grow our economy. So we have decided to diversify agriculture, we decided to develop our tourism sector, we have decided to develop our mining sector. — Joyce Banda
There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years, and he could have it earlier. — Jay Rockefeller
The concept of this so-called "TerraPower reactor" is that you, in the same reactor, you both burn and breed. So, instead of making plutonium and then extracting it, we take uranium - the 99.3 percent that you normally don't do anything with - we convert that, and we burn it. — Bill Gates

But if it does, you could have cheaper energy with no CO2 emissions. — Bill Gates
There are better alternatives... Australia should be exporting its solar technology, not its uranium. — Bob Brown

I tell you one thing, Hillary Clinton tried to make a deal. She had the reset. She gave all that valuable uranium away, she did other things away. They say I'm close to Russia. Hillary Clinton gave away 20% of the uranium. She's close to Russia. You know what I gave to Russia? You know what I gave? — Donald Trump
We had Hillary Clinton try and do a reset. We had Hillary Clinton give Russia 20% of the uranium in our country. — Donald Trump
