    Nah, natural disasters are disasters through and through. I’m not aware of any eco friendly power gen that can benefit from extreme or dangerous weather sadly

        Without a doubt. I think (if high school memory serves me right) geothermal is one of the harder power gens just because of how much can go wrong/brittle the process is, but I’m not sure if that includes nuclear power in the mix.

        Arguably nuclear is one of the most powerful although it has plenty of drawbacks like waste disposal (as if we don’t already have an issue with this lmao)

          there’s good ways to store the nuclear waste but they’re not politically acceptable. easier to just let it pile up and make it someone else’s problem.

              well there’s glassifying it (encapsulating the waste in an obsidian/glass container), burying it deep, deep underground in a seismically neutral/void area, and the ever popular launching it into the Sun.

                How long does that obsidian glass container last?

                And would sending additional entropy to the sun really be without consequence?
