gollark: Actually, nuclear fission to power an *e-*bike is silly! It would be more efficient to directly drive the wheels with the turbines.
gollark: But only two of them, so it's a bike.
gollark: Why not put wheels on ITER, the experimental fusion thing?
gollark: Actually, the RTG idea is silly, just use a proper fission reactor.
gollark: Nuclear power is good, though, so obviously adding it to your e-bike is good.
