		<p>There's a Kenyan proverb I learned from a 2015 speech president Obama gave that goes, "We have not inherited this land from our forebears, we have borrowed it from our children." I think this mentality is tightly coupled with a comprehensive understanding of a fuel cycle (let alone a nuclear one).</p>

		<h2>This week in US nuclear energy searches</h2>
		<p>As more and more of our lives takes place online, I think it's important to highlight where people are thinking about nuclear and what they're looking for information on!</p>

		<script type="text/javascript" src="https://ssl.gstatic.com/trends_nrtr/3601_RC01/embed_loader.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript">
		  trends.embed.renderExploreWidget("GEO_MAP", {"comparisonItem":[{"keyword":"Nuclear energy","geo":"US","time":"now 7-d"}],"category":0,"property":""}, {"exploreQuery":"date=now%207-d&geo=US&q=Nuclear%20energy&hl=en-US","guestPath":"https://trends.google.com:443/trends/embed/"});
		</script>

		<p>It amazes me every week how some of these results make sense based on where nuclear programs are located, and sometimes I have no idea why a particular region is looking up all things nuclear. Here are some rising questions people are looking up, these aren't the top questions (but those were pretty constant, so I thought this would be more interesting).</p>

		</script>


		<p>None of this would be complete without some related topics. Looking at what people are relating to nuclear energy is similarly a wild ride for me (there are some things I just can't explain)</p>
