[asa] mistake

Sitting in Church today my thoughts wandered from the preacher and I
realised when I calculated the life time of a 200 year nuclear fuel supply
if we use nuclear to replace oil, it isn't an 18 year supply. To replace oil
with nuclear requires 6 x the number of nukes we have today. So, it should
be a 33 year lifetime.

Wondering why I did it, I think I stopped the math when I decided that 6
goes into 200---18 and when it should be 3x6=18 subtract 18 from 20, equals
2, drop the zero, 6 goes into 20 3 times. ..So, my 3rd grade math is
lousy, and this is clearly an example where a mistake doesn't prove that I
know nothing on any other topic, although I might be evidence that I need to
return to the 3rd grade for a refresher course. No anger here.
