Nuclear mafia buisness

[Smeghead]

Well there is Geothermal energy

[PenninInk]

We need to go back to horses and carts! They never run out of gas!

When the sun goes, it's going to take out anything closer than Neptune. So, at that point the people on the planet will have a bit more to worry about than if their television stops working.

When the sun goes red giant, its going to expand to about the orbit of Mars. While some theorize that the weakening gravitational pull will let Earth swing out into a wider orbit that it can survive, it will still be utterly uninhabitable by then. Its not even worth thinking beyond the red giant phase.

yeah... because humanity will be long gone befor that

That's why I used the wording "take out" rather than "engulf". The sun itself will be much larger, and the plasma bands reaching out will be much larger as well. Add in increased solar winds, the flammable gasses on the gas giants; it's a recipe for destruction. I'm just sad I won't be around to watch it.

Solar, wind, & wave power are only going to be around as long as there's a sun. Tidal relies on the moon sticking around without slowing us down too much. What happens when those resources run out.

Well the sun is going to be around for the next coupla billion years.

Plasma toroids don't work yet but with so much resources being poured into it it won't be more than a decade or two.
This is why I plan to mine the moon it's rocks are naturally rich in the "heavy helium" required on tokomaks
PS geothermal is great for the countries that have it.

One of my comp-sci friends was working on a model of a non-Tokamak fusion reactor for some crazy Russian physicist. It sounded pretty cool, and viable.

It's still not a permanent solution. Yes, it will outlast us, but so will the Uranium.

[Highlander]

If the sun outlasts humanity it is a permanent solution

UPDATE
So it tursn out that the maffia wasn't gonna waste a ship doing someone elses work; they decided to combine it with some of their own buisness.
The divers who were examining one of the ships found at least 2 bodies in it.

nice

proper mafia work
