Uranium Primer

Free knowledge here.

And at the moment, EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.

Check it out.

But before you do, let me just jump ahead with two MONEY-SHOT stats:

1. In terms of energy density, one uranium pellet the size of a gummy bear = 120 gallons of oil.  Since there are 42 US liquid gallons in ONE BARREL of oil, and since one barrel of oil = 8 years of human physical labor, ONE PELLET of uranium x 2.86 barrels of oil (120 gallons) = 22.86 YEARS OF HUMAN PHYSICAL LABOR.
2. Generating a gigawatt of energy takes one square mile of land per nuclear reactor, whereas, alternatively, it takes 431 utility-scale wind turbines requiring 360 times more land.

BOYS AND GIRLS — Don’t look now, but WE’RE GOING NUCLEAR!
