Cowan, boro Sun, 11 Jan 2009 11:32:42 +0000 http://redgreenandblue.org/?p=2099#comment-20124 Read David J.C. Mackay's "Sustainable Energy Without Hot Air". Britain, the island, has in its top kilometre a billion tonnes of uranium. Perhaps little of it will ever be extracted, but the energetics are favorable: half a gram of uranium can provide electricity sufficient to pulverize a tonne of hard rock, and much of the Earth's surface is made of hard rocks that contain more than 2.5 grams. That's not in Mackay's book, but the marine uranium extraction experiments are, and they have shown that extraction of country rock will be unnecessary for many decades, at least. No maritime country can be denied uranium. Read David J.C. Mackay's "Sustainable Energy Without Hot Air". Britain, the island, has in its top kilometre a billion tonnes of uranium.
