gollark: If you wanted to actually deploy them as, you know, solar panels, you would need more space than that.
gollark: If it wasn't for horrible cost problems (apparently mostly due to regulatory badness) you could basically just get arbitrary amounts of power from nuclear.
gollark: Solar is not that "based". You require unreasonable amounts of space and solar panels.
gollark: Heavy elements are from supernovae.
gollark: True, true, if you already have tons of heat then it makes sense.
