The virtues of density can also be seen in nuclear waste, a leading bugaboo of groups like Greenpeace and the Sierra Club. According to the Nuclear Energy Institute, an industry group, the American commercial nuclear-power industry, over its entire history, has produced about 62,000 tons of high-level waste. Stacked to a depth of about 20 feet, that would cover a single football field. Coal-fired power plants in the United States, by contrast, generate about 130 million tons of coal ash in a single year.

True, radioactive waste is toxic and long-lived, but it can be stored safely. France produces about 80% of its electricity from nuclear fission, and all of its high-level waste is stored in a single building about the size of a soccer field.

NEI's highlight: Nuclear power provides a good example of the role density plays in the preservation of the environment, writes Robert Bryce, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute. Nuclear plants have high power density compared with other energy sources such as wind turbines because they generate an ample amount of electricity while needing less space. Power plants should have the smallest possible footprints, Bryce writes, Wall Street Journal, January 18, 2012
