• "Nuclear energy is not the most powerful source in the universe; gravity at the intensity exerted by black holes can convert matter into energy with an efficiency of near to 50 per cent, making it over 100 times more powerful than nuclear energy. [...] It is perverse and dangerous to gain energy by burning fossil carbon in fossil oxygen, [...].
  "[...] nuclear reactions are millions of times more energetic than chemical reactions. The most energy available from a chemical reaction such as burning carbon in oxygen is about nine kilowatt hours per kilogram. The nuclear fusion of hydrogen atoms to form helium gives several million times as much, and the energy from splitting uranium is greater still."
