Quote:Seriously, sun's tech would be awesome. It's efficient, clean, and hydrogen (which is what it burns) is basically everywhere.
Do you mean using the radiation it gives off as energy (a.k.a. solar power, which we have)? Or generating energy the same way (a.k.a. nuclear fusion generators, which we're working on and will have in a couple of decades)?
Quote:I'm just pissed about how we struggle to create so little energy for everyday use and destroy the planet in the process while some fireball does that so efficiently
Well it's kind of hard to make/harness/use energy without changing something. And we tend to get energy from the planet earth because....well....we live on it.
And as for "does that efficiently, that would depend on what kind of efficiency. Stars produce craploads of energy because they're so volatile, constantly changing at a rapid pace down to the atomic level. Plus they don't come out of thin air. In order to produce a star you still have to destroy something else. Luckily our star still has a few more billion years left in it, so we have time to look elsewhere, although our planet will be uninhabitable within a few million years (maybe dozens or hundreds if we're lucky). But now I'm in danger of rambling about the future of our race so I'll stop myself.
