One single uranium fuel pellet (the size of the tip of your thumb) has the same energy as 1 ton of coal.
From the U.S. Department of Energy:
Less than 10 pellets can power the average household for a year.
While the U.S. generates about 2,000 metric tons of used nuclear fuel a year, spent fuel still contains more than 90% of its potential energy, allowing it to be recycled into new fuel and other byproducts.
17 million BTU's from one pellet.
It's pure insanity to propose electric vehicles without nuclear power plants all throughout the country.
