    I just got a great idea! Nuclear toilets! Well we’re would you dispose of the waste right? No, bad idea.

    I’ve got it! A toilet right over a volcano! Well, actually, normal toilets, we just pump the waste onto the volcano to gather heat so we can boil water to spin a turbine.

    I think Quaise might have them beat and be a heck of a lot cheaper, as it’s land-based, it’s reusing existing turbines and decreases the drill costs through use of microwave ablation. I won’t say 100%, but it seems like doing anything at sea is going to be a heck of a lot more expensive than trying to do it on land.
