If God had wanted us to have nearly unlimited clean energy, He would have placed a fusion reactor into the sky.

    Can someone explain the solar panels bit at the bottom? Is it because the creator of the meme is advocating that as a cooler method of energy, given that it doesn’t use boiling water, or is it because the fusion reactor can utilise solar panels to convert the energy to electricity?

      Because the Sun is a giant fusion reactor.

        Oh okay. The reactor will still use steam boiling though

          Only maybe! DEC works similarly to how we collect energy in photovoltaics, and seems to be pretty promising
