Physical Insights is one of my favorite blogs to visit. It is produced by a science student at the University of Melbourne Australia. He recently produced a pithy post with two photos and some computations that should provide a lot of food for thought for those honest environmentalists that are concerned about the footprint that they and their fellow humans leave in order to pursue our own definition of happiness and prosperity.
The environmental footprints of coal and uranium mining.
It is well worth the few minutes it will take to go and read that post rather than have me quote anything here.
