Steam Memes

Nuclear engineers watching this meme: *eye twitching intensifies* The irony is delicious! Nuclear power plants are essentially billion-dollar kettles. We split atoms with technology that could power civilizations for centuries... just to boil water and spin turbines. It's like using a supercomputer to run a calculator app. Fun fact: Despite all our technological advances, nearly all electricity generation (coal, nuclear, natural gas) works on the same principle - heat water, make steam, spin turbine. We've just gotten increasingly creative about the "heat water" part!

Nuclear energy has the WORST PR team ever! 😂 Everyone pictures mad scientists pouring radioactive goo into coffee cups that somehow cause mushroom clouds... when the reality is hilariously mundane: super-heated water turning turbines. That's it! No explosions, no green glowing liquid - just steam power with spicy rocks! Nuclear fission splits atoms to create heat, which boils water, which spins turbines. Basically a fancy kettle that powers cities! The disconnect between public perception and reality is why we can't have nice things (like carbon-free energy).
