A much better outlook

摘要

It has been often remarked upon in NEI that there can be considerable discrepancies between different organizations' forecasts of future generating capacity, for example when the World Nuclear Association's (WNA's) uranium market report was discussed (see NEI January 2004, p21). In this instance, it was noted that future uranium demand is clearly dependent on future nuclear generating capacity. So, if we cannot have confidence in generation projections, then the figures for future uranium demand are of not much use. The article pointed out some significant differences in WNA nuclear generating capacity projections and those of the US Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA).
