Most of the world's supply of uranium currently comes from mines. It is possible to extract uranium from seawater, but the cost of doing so is greater than the price that uranium fetches on the world market. Therefore, until the cost of extracting uranium from seawater can somehow be reduced, this method of obtaining uranium is unlikely to be commercially viable.
Which of the following would it be most useful to determine in evaluating the argument?
Whether the uranium in deposits on land is rapidly being depleted
Whether most uranium is used near where it is mined
Whether there are any technological advances that show promise of reducing the cost of extracting uranium from seawater
Whether the total amount of uranium in seawater is significantly greater than the total amount of uranium on land
Whether uranium can be extracted from freshwater at a cost similar to the cost of extracting it from seawater
until the cost of extracting uranium from seawater can somehow be reduced，这个是前提，应该考虑现有成本下，还具有商业价值的情况，即陆地储量枯竭，只能从海水里提取。
