He was doing good until 4:05. "Superheat water, drive a steam turbine and so generate electricity."

I never really understood why we're still using the same brute methods to force movement of electrons.

I mean this IS great, but we should also be investing R&D for energy capture. Otherwise we would be wasting the left over 70%, which would most likely end up as heat pollution.

awsome.

Tesla would be laughing his ass off if he was here to see your plans and going through that much trouble to produce electricity.

@RocketSpecialist "Clean" energy, in exchange for 100+ million degrees doing who knows what to our planet if they screw up. Solar power is the way to go, we already have the technology.

Holy Crap! Gordon Freeman at 4:50! Not good people, not good!
