A thought I genuinely had in shower. “Huh, the water is basically heated using uranium through a proxy.”
Uranium boils water which turns a turbine, the turbine makes electricity, the electricity powers your kettle, and your kettle boils the water. Obviously the best thing to do is to cut out all the messing around converting this to that, and have uranium powered kettles.
Technically doesn’t uranium boil one vessel of water, to then boil another vessel via a heat exchanger before turning the turbine?
So it takes 3 rounds to boil water for a cuppa?
A uranium powered kettle is straight out of the fallout universe
Every home could have a mini reactor and it would give you all the heat you need.
For the rest of your life, even
This kettle goes up to 18,000 roentgen so you know it’s good.

Not great, not terrible.
I’m about to have my house powered by fusion energy.
'Splained
I’m installing a PV system, and solar energy is just fusion power at a distance.
Add another proxy, and even a nuclear fission power plant is just using stored stellar fusion power.
So, let’s just use it directly instead.
If you really think about it, all forms of our electricity production are solar powered, just not necessarily by our sun.
I’m not sure if that’s 100% accurate. I think hydrogen existed before stars
