My Son's Other Christmas Present For Me: Rocks to Save the World. [View all]

I remarked over in the history forum that my family gave me some gifts offering a shred of political hope: To Assuage My Despair For America: Two History Books My Family Gave Me for Christmas.

My youngest son, the nuclear engineering Ph.D. student, gave me Fears of a Setting Sun

He also gave me this: Uranium Ore Fragments



I have argued, and will continue to argue, that it may not be necessary to mine uranium for centuries if we recover the energy in so called "depleted uranium" using breeder systems and lanthanide (rare earth) mine tailings containing significant quantities of thorium.

This said, I rather like the gift, since uranium is the key to saving the world, even if his Maggotcy King Musk is a threat to losing the world.

There's nothing wrong with having a shred of hope.
