  Don’t we try this every few decades and realize it’s not as great as it seems? There’s one of these in the American Southwest that wasn’t worth the trouble to operate.

  In terms of badass things to build your civilisation around, though, every single bit of me wants to live in a city constructed around one of these bad boys.

  Hell yeah I’ll get in a parade to worship one of those things, they’re insanely fucking cool.

    The only problem being you shouldn’t look directly at it…

      Can’t look directly at the sun either, people worship the sun…

  Supercritical CO2 gas turbines are also a possibility.

  Hopefully this one directly shoves the electons. I’m scared of society’s DHMO dependency.
