gollark: Yes, nuclear plants are veeeeery expensive to build for whatever reason.
gollark: Of course, if you run a vast network of superconducting cables around the entire planet, you can just get solar power from wherever *is* lit up!
gollark: Solar has problems, apparently, like high energy input to make and the obvious one of batteries.
gollark: Yes, we should be actually using those.
gollark: Space travel is HIGHLY energetically expensive so space oil mining is very bees.
