Ugga is confused. Ugga needs help. Why basically only turbines?
* Nuclear power. Turbines.
* Water power (waterfall, dams and so on). Turbines.
* Wind power. Turbine (This one i accept).
* Wave power. Turbines.
* Coal power. Turbines.
The only one i can think of that doesnt use turbines is solar power. Have we not in our 250+ years of harnessing energy come up with a way of getting said power without using turbines except for solar power? Or is it just that, its our most effective way?
How do we extract energy from our fusion trial chambers? Is it just the heat being funneled to a watertank with a turbine?
RTGs in satellites uses thermocouple. Im guessing solar works in a similar way?

Because curretnly we can’t generate electorns efficiently out of other forms of energy efficiently.
There are some metallurgy magic, that some metals create current due to heating.
But currently the most efficient way to create current is to make electrons move that are already there. That can be done with moving magnets. The best way of movement that is repetitive and can go forever is rotation. Hence Turbines.
So yes, ever since the invention of the steam engine and electric generators. most mayor advancement if energy production is built around that. We heat water to produce steam and turn a generator.
Even the next step, fusion reactors are just a new fancy way of creating heat.

Creating electrons introduces a whole lot of problems, because with an electric circuits, electrons are not consumed, they are the little workers who do the work, but they still there.
With DC power electrons just run around in a circle pushed forward by generators and pushed back by things that use power. They are not created or destroyed
