    Using turbines is like the fking most common way to generate electricity ever, damn this people, they are as dumb as the chatbox they’re creating.

    Like what, they will build a combined cycle power plant? one of the most common ever? and a administrator or whoever writes this bullshit, saw a power plant for the first time in their lives, and saw a turbine and went “Oh lOOOOOKKKKKKKKKk IS a turbine, like on planes that go whoosh wooosh trough the sky”.

    edt: i read it and is just using turbines made for aviation, for energy instead, still quite dumb, but not as much.

      Except for solar, it’s the only way.

      And I swear solar is just photons spinning some tiny turbine and pushing electrons around. I know that’s wrong, but I’m believing it anyway.

        For a while, some solar power systems did just boil water and spin a turbine as well, by having mirrors that lasered a tower of molten salt. It’s only really recently that photovoltaics have become cheap enough to replace them.
