    It’s kinda wild that there is a science that allows us to harness an almost limitless power of molecules for almost entirely clean energy, but the US just wants to literally burn ancient dinosaur fossils for energy despite it being a major cause for the total collapse of the environment.

    Just barbarian level shit.

      Remember when we first figured out how to do this and everyone though that by the 2020s we’d be running nuclear powered cars and vacuum cleaners and shit?

      Yeah me neither cause I wasn’t born yet but still, why couldn’t I have been born into that world kitty-birthday-sad

        I was born in the 90s but grew up reading Foundation books. I thought for sure we’d get nuclear powered everything

        I get the sentiment but you definitely don’t want nuclear powered vacuum cleaners.

          Honestly it’s kind of a ridiculous concept. It’s way more efficient to have one big plant generating power and then send that power to all the location it’s needed then have a million tiny engines everywhere. That’s why cars are so damn inefficient.

          Early train engineers figured this out, before widespread use of electricity they were trying to make trains that were driven by long vacuum tubes powered by one big pump station cuz that was more efficient (on paper at least) than having a big fuck off steam engine dragging around all it’s own water and coal.

          So have one big nuke power plant and then just have all the cars run off pantographs.

            One big power plant is more efficient, but also a single point of failure. Having multiple medium-sized power plants is more reliable.

          Anyone who gets most of their electricity from nukes already has a nuke powered vacuum.
