50. IT ISN'T THEIR CALCULATIONS
Namibia is a poor country. It has a low energy intensity. All international bodies (CIA factbook, UN, IEA) shows Namibia annual energy consumption to be ~561PJ.

The nuclear industry didn't calculate it. They simply looked up publicly available data.

I mean the energy consumption of a country isn't exact a secret.

Per Leeuwen's "study" a mine with 125ppm uranium in hard rock requires 69PJ to extract 6500 tons.

Rosing has yield of 125ppm, and export rate of 125ppm thus Rosing uses 69PJ.

The energy consumption of the entire country is roughly 61PJ (varies from 61 to 64 depending on source) annually.

So the mine used more energy than the entire country. The entire rest of the country (the 99.99999% that isn't the mine) used NEGATIVE energy for the year to bring total down to 61PJ. :rofl:

I got a car that can run on water dude. The oil companies have been supressing it for years. $99.99 in money order and the plans are yours. I sweat.

JUNK SCIENCE
