Nuclear power appears to be a powerful way to make steam that spins a turbine. Same with geothermal, wind, & hydro. Maybe not solar? Isn’t energy lost in the multiple energy conversions (heat, water state, kinetic)? Is it theoretically possible to have a power source that more directly moves electrons through a circuit? If solar is the only one that can, it’s limited in efficiency and where it can be used. What about power generation undersea or on Ganymede or something?

I think it’s very sad that no matter how much we advance, all we are creating are better steams engines… I get hyped up about these new discoveries in nuclear energy and then find out “oh it just makes steam faster” and it’s all gone. Are we ever going to move beyond this method of obtaining energy?
