  Because it’s not as cool as directly harvest the energy itself like in scifi.

    geothermal is boiling water too, and it’s pretty neat

      I’ve been thinking that for a while. Issue is that it’s risky, if you fuck up there’s a pretty high chance that there are going to be a lot of houses with cracks in their walls (assuming you’re doing it in a relatively densely populated area that doesn’t normally see earthquakes).

        You mean, like fracking (for oil power) minus the poisoning groundwater part?

        Any powerplant will usually done in a pretty isolated area for safety reason, so i’d assume the chance of it happen is very, very slim. If location isn’t permitted it’s probably shouldn’t be build, especially for the type that need to deep very deep to access the heat, so solar panel on roof is probably the best way for any power generation that is placed close or in the populated area.

        dropping the latter assumption?

    Like solar panels converting photons to electrons?

    • psx_crab@lemmy.zip ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Like solar thermal powerplant or molten salt reactor, LAME.

      That’s why solarpunk is the coolest.

    Honey, go toss another plutonium pellet in the house slot, please.

      Let me guess, you need to boil some water?

  It’s not really a problem, it’s just funny that so many forms of power generation we have are just boiling water to make steam that spins turbines.

    It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.

      and we found it very early on

      just FYI, the electrochemical battery was invented in 1800, while electromechanical generator was invented in around 1866.

    Eh, we’re still moving electrons around in wires like Faraday did in the 1800s!

    Solar concentration is boiling some other liquid, so there’s some variance 😅

  I blame the constant stream of bullshit, clickbait “science” headlines that media and internet has subjected an entire generation to, leading to the same effect as it’s had on politics, which is the average person tunes out completely and nobody knows what’s “standard” and normal anymore, and doesn’t really care either.

  People with no actual experience in electrical generation on large scale.
