gollark: > that could almost negate the need for special space for generating electricity<@617750798960558091> No, industry has massive power use per area and likely not convenient windows everywhere.

gollark: Speaking of nuclear fusion, someone *just* posted this in another server I'm in (not sure of accuracy):

gollark: I don't know, look up the efficiency figures or something. I don't see the use case though.

gollark: Probably somewhat. Any light which passes through is light they can't absorb. I guess they could be just absorbing a few frequencies, but that would be worse than nontransparent ones.

gollark: Here is the "pseudoscience" you "implied" you "wanted".
