gollark: You can alternatively think of that as having power generation increase quadratically as you get closer, but then there is of course the issue of your power generation satellite things melting.
gollark: Yes, right.
gollark: If I remember correctly someone was saying that electron beams could be used to detect if something was a nuclear weapon or not.
gollark: People will probably complain if their package delivery gets electrolasered and electroned.
gollark: Don't electrons repel each other?
