True, it was really bad for us to be able build a decent industry and export all over the world. Much better to be addicted to expensive USA gas and let our industry and economies crumble.

Actually much better to leave perfectly functional nuclear power plants online so you don't have to pick one vs the other.

And who's Europe largest and closest supplier of Uranium?

You can't change geography, Europe doesn't have raw resources, Russia has tons of them. We're destined to have a close commercial relationship.

Dp you understand how energy-dense Uranium is? You can power a 1GW nuclear reactor for a week with a carry-on suitcase full of pellets. The proximity is utterly irrelevant.

It's also not even necessary! Uranium was discovered on the Czechia / Germany border and there are still many reserves there! Europe only stopped mining it in 2016!

And yet, even the USA imported 27% of its uranium from Russia until last year.
