I don't need to know anything about virii! My CUSTOM PROGRAM keeps me protected! It's not like they'll try to come in through the Internet or something!

i like nuclear power and thers like lots of uranium in the sea and its not hard to centrifuge the uranium out because its so heavy and also u can make fresh water from the salt water and irrigate the planet
If it's not hard to centrifuge it out, why is all the research so focused on doing it with fibers?
In 2012 it was estimated to be impossible to extract more efficiently than 3 times the price of ore at the time, and the best estimate at the time was 10 times as expensive as ore. Though of course if nuclear usage goes up enough then the cost of ore will go up enough that paying ten times the 2012 ore price to extract it from seawater will be a bargain. But with that price increase on top of the base construction and disposal costs, is nuclear power even cost effective any more?
