AzulCrescentlil tidbit about Solar
Not a funni comic and a bit nerdy, but i wanted to write about something that i find cool lol.
madison taylor@AzulCrescent also, as I understand it, natural gas turbines are a liiiiiiittle different than the others? as in, they burn the gas directly in the turbine instead of heating water; this saves an awful lot on capital expenditures, and has helped make them very popular.
(still a turbine though so the general point applies either way)
oh and then there's thermoelectrics ... but like outside of deep space probes noooobody uses those

@tomoyo @AzulCrescent I've talked to some power plant boiler operators years ago, and from what I recall, (most? many?) natural gas plants boil water, too — which makes it relatively easy to convert power plants from coal to gas.
