Rocks May Be Valuable in Future
Washington notes that rocks in backyards could hold uranium and thorium for future energy needs. Dr George Gamow explains ordinary granite contains four grams of uranium and 12 grams of thorium per ton, enough in theory to yield substantial energy if processed. He argues deposits might sustain world power for one to two thousand years, especially via uranium-238 and thorium conversion, though current economics make extraction unlikely.
