Turbines are our friends
(media.piefed.social)
A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.

Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
They used to be cheaper. Solar is bananas cheap now
Generating electricity by boiling water used to be the cheapest option, but nowadays it's a bottleneck that itself is way more expensive than the alternatives that people actually build.
It only got cheaper with time, though. It's the alternatives (PV, wind, batteries, gas) that improved a crazy amount.
