North America has vast reserves of uranium, enough to power the United States and Canada for hundreds of years, and the Trump administration's Department of the Interior is now, as we see, fast-tracking approval of new uranium mines:

According to a report by the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency and the International Atomic Energy Agency, as of 2015, the United States' reserves of recoverable uranium were at 101,900 tonnes (metric), and Canada is blowing us away with 969,200 tonnes. That's a lot of uranium. But, according to this same report, the world champion by a wide margin is Australia, with 2,049,400 tonnes.
