Comments on: The footprints of coal and nuclear fuels. http://enochthered.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/the-footprints-of-coal-and-nuclear-fuels/ An independent scientist's observations on society, technology, energy, science and the environment. "Modern science has been a voyage into the unknown, with a lesson in humility waiting at every stop. Many passengers would rather have stayed home." - Carl Sagan Thu, 22 Oct 2009 12:19:13 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Jason Ribeiro http://enochthered.wordpress.com/2008/12/04/the-footprints-of-coal-and-nuclear-fuels/#comment-756 Jason Ribeiro Fri, 05 Dec 2008 06:48:24 +0000 http://enochthered.wordpress.com/?p=338#comment-756 Luke, thanks again for the U235 energy equivalent calculation to 1 million barrels of oil. I believe visualizations are very educational for people, especially in energy matters where the average person just doesn't have the time or inclination to study the matter in any depth. They may read an article or two on wind energy or nuclear, but if there is an interesting graphic to support the points being made, they will remember that far easier. I might just have to continue this series with some of your calculations done here - nice job! Luke, thanks again for the U235 energy equivalent calculation to 1 million barrels of oil.
