What is both rare and everywhere?

- Uranium is rare, but everywhere.

One ton of an ordinary rock, such as granite, contains 16g of Thorium and Uranium.

A kilogram of Uranium is equivalent to 20,000 tons of TNT, which is approx. the same as the energy potential of 20,000 tons of gasoline.

One ton of common-or-garden rock contains the equivalent fuel of 320 tons of gasoline. It could take a lot less than that to extract it.

Until recently, what did environmentalists and Car/Oil companies have in common?

- A reason to hate nuclear power.

It used to be very easy to make a case against nuclear energy, and if you are either a treehugger or a oil exec. you would be historically allied.
