Okay, so, off-worlders. Energy sources: your world.

Discuss? As what we're used to?

We use electricity where I'm from.

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

That's a type of energy. What's its source?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

There's multiple sources. I know that water and wind can be used to create electricity, but there's also a lot more I'm unfamiliar with.

Why do you want to know?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

It could be useful. Say if someone's from a world where the main energy source damages the environment. Knowing an alternative may benefit their world on their return, right?

[xiiicard.livejournal.com]

That's true. I wish I could tell you more, but I'm afraid I'm not very knowledgeable about such things.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

My diluted awesomeness.

Seriously, energy for what?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Oh, haha. Hilarious.

I mean the kind of energy used to give things power. Like the machine you're using right now.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

Don't have 'em in my world. Good enough answer?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Not really. It just makes your world sound really backwards.

[ready-set-fire.livejournal.com]

Now ask me if I care.

[fierybluebird]

Wind mostly. And ocean currents.

- Marco.

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Converted into something more convenient, or just as it is?

[fierybluebird]

...

How do you convert wind?

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Just an example, but judging from some of the materials in the library, wind powered turbines can be used to generate electricity.

[fierybluebird]

I meant it moves ships.

Clouds of sentient angry bees.

Is there a way to ban idiots from these things?

[vocaloidiot]

If I'm on it, probably not!

Anyways, aren't you kind of asking a hugely open question? I can't go into the whole spiel about nuclear power from scratch just like that.

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That's the point. And just because you're lazy doesn't mean everyone else is.

[vocaloidiot]

You're asking me to distil an entire branch of science down into a message board with absolutely no reference materials to hand! Even for my memory banks that's a little much!

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

Ah, natural gas, wind and water power, things like that. I overheard a Borg saying humans are a great source of energy too once. Kindof creepy if you think about it...

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

I see.

I can imagine humans can be a good source of energy, but it would be unethical and, I imagine, also quite impractical.

after a quick trip to the dictionary...

[lilyofthedrills.livejournal.com]

I don't know about ethics (I don't think they have much of that stuff), but they seem like they've gotta be...efficient? Is that the word? Because they're symbionts. They think humans are the best hosts, I think.

a wild guy appears ;|

[hardforfontech.livejournal.com]

I guess that'd be the Planet Storm.

*has not played Abyss... ;o;*

[blastiaphilia.livejournal.com]

And what's that?
