A gigawatt of electricity produced in a coal-fired power plant requires approximately 9,000 tons of fuel. An equivalent amount of clean energy sourced from uranium requires just 3 kilograms (6.6 lbs) of uranium fuel. #StuffOfProgresshttps://www.humanprogress.org/stuff-of-progress-pt-12/ …

This makes about as much sense as "the top speed of this car is two weeks". According to this 1kg of uranium fuel makes 24GWh of energy. https://www.ovoenergy.com/guides/energy-sources/nuclear-energy.htm …
I’ve just watched the Curie movie and now I know it takes several thousand KGs of some kinda black rock to get just one gram of uranium so these weights measures seem like nonesense. Can we get uranium more easily nowadays?
