In contemplating the thought of this material and its depletion rate. This is after all, converting one form of energy into another in a controlled state.
Taking that into account along with the concept of solar energy conversion of light radiation to electricty.
For the sake of discussion. Since nulcear waste emits another type of radiation. Could it be possible that this type of radiation waste be converted into a new type of power cell, as if in a "fantasy land" envronmentally responsible way?
Imagine the possiblities if the physics were remotely realistic to overcome the impossiblities.
A power source with a 10,000 year half life is too good to be true I suppose?
