gollark: burden of proof™
gollark: Nuclear is very cool and needs to be used more.
gollark: As far as I know it's something like ~~0.5% efficiency~~ (correction: wikipedia says ~5%) and the main advantage of photosynthesis is just that it produces convenient storable chemical energy as output.
gollark: I have a fun diagram too!
gollark: They don't *do* much, though, and you can't really change behavior to avoid it, and it's mostly irrelevant.
