Stanford researchers have already the answers of unlimited nuclear power in the form of uranium deposits underneath the big bodies of water. In the past, the technology of getting uranium fuel from the ocean requires a lot of money and efforts but the quantity collected is still not enough. Even Japanese experts in 2012 have tried to use the original process and hoped to develop it for $300 per kilogram, making it more expensive than the commercial at that time.

Although the use of renewable energy is already adaptable to some entities, the former US secretary of energy and professor of molecular and cellular physiology, Steven Chu still pushes on with seawater extraction of uranium. According to reports from Free Press Journal, nuclear power still assures those countries that are dependent on it and has feared the depletion of fossil fuel. Regardless of the continuous efforts to promote the wind and solar as a source of energy, it has always been considered only as an alternative and not the main source.

Because of the numerous questions of renewable energy due to climate change, the collaboration of scientists worldwide has developed a new, cheaper and cleaner way to extract uranium from seawater. Based on reports from ExtremeTech, uranyl ions from seawater attaches on plastic strands composed of a material called amidoxime and will be treated chemically for the removal of the uranyl ions on the strands. The capacity, rate, and reuse of the amidoxime fiber have been thoroughly studied by Stanford researchers to ensure that more uranyl ions will bind to it.

As these experts discover a combination of carbon and amidoxime fiber fused with an electrical pulse, it has absorbed nine times more than the standard amidoxime fiber. However, environmentalists still recommend a study for both the safety and design of the reactor and improvements in policies for waste products and its proper disposal.
