Notes
- Lavery, Ships of the Line vol.1, p171.
gollark: I mean, if it's profitable it would happen, but it doesn't seem to be since renewables are pushed harder and there's tons of bad nuclear regulation.
gollark: Overpopulation seems very overrated as a problem.
gollark: It's annoying about how I regularly read about exciting new battery tech which never seems to go anywhere.
gollark: Why do you need batteries for nuclear power/mining of uranium?
gollark: Capitalism approximately satisfies people's values. But people apparently have terrible values.
