- aaron695 6y agoGas works fine to create energy, they mention gas in the doco. Wind turbines also solve the wrong problem. The nobody cares bit is around HN not caring all their info was made open source (Try algolia). There's no reason you couldn't try and pivot. It's something you can contribute code to. Tethers can also supply electricity upwards. You could make permanent platforms, perhaps. Space tethers are probably impossible, certainly nothing can be started for decades. It's fun to LARP but it'd also be nice to get equally keen about things that are possible and actionable.
