Answer:
In the summer of 1939, American newspapers began to discuss the prospects of using atomic energy. Although physicists reported new advances in this field, many Americans doubted that nuclear weapons could be created. Leo Silarda, a physicist from Hungary, was worried that America had not shown itself in such a serious matter: this could be an advantage for Nazi Germany.
Sylard himself could not find support in the government and decided to seek help from his friend Albert Einstein. Sylard told him that the atomic bomb can be created with the current achievements of science. Sylard’s request was that Einstein warned the Belgian queen, who could protect large reserves of uranium ore in the Belgian Congo from the Nazis.

Here's for one of them:
Type: Nuclear
Extraction: Uranium (the fuel for nuclear energy) is typically mined using open pit or sub-surface mining. Australia, Canada, Kazakhstan are where the world's largest deposits are.
Benefits: Low cost (if you don't count building the power plant), reliable (unlike wind & solar energy which comes and goes, nuclear is readily available), no carbon emissions, produce more energy than coal power plants (most popular energy source), no air pollutants emitted (all other nonrenewable sources, aka. coal, oil, and natural gas, release harmful air pollutants)
Risks to environment: Radioactive wastes require to be safely secured away for thousands of years before they can reach safe levels, nuclear accidents can happen, mining uranium cause land disturbance, thermal pollution in nearby bodies of water or wherever cooling water is released (this can lead to dissolved oxygen levels decreasing in that body of water which can suffocate aquatic life)
Other info: Nuclear energy makes up 10% of the world's energy consumption.
The Powhatan Confederacy was a group of Native American tribes during the 17th century that settled in Virginia. Learn about how they rose in power under Powhatan, how they reacted to English colonists at Jamestown, and how they ended up in decline.
