Randahl FinkThose who keep complaining that wind turbines do not work when the winds are not blowing, just realized that oil does not work when the Hormuz Strait is not open.
tootbrute@randahl if only we had ways to produce energy that don't rely on oil.
If only...
Pseudo NymThat's just crazy. Why, you would need some sort of super fusion reactor safely placed about 90 million miles away for that.
Oh.
Sharif Naas@pseudonym @tootbrute @randahl No, no, that wouldn't work. You'd have to do wireless power transmission. You'd only get a tiny, tiny fraction of the produced power. Completely impractical.

What if … we gave eleventy bazillion dollars to Elon, to launch 42 million X-link satellites to completely enclose the reactor and capture all the radiated energy ? 🤔
