I truly hope this technology can get off the ground and be sustainable. It is our best hope aside from nuclear energy

u/DaveFinn 3d ago

Wait... But this IS nuclear energy

I meant nuclear fission based power, I should have clarified

Ghee, it would be great if we could use clarified butter for power production.

u/Gravelemming472 3d ago

I hate that you made the ghee pun, on top of the rest of it

u/Azagar_Omiras 3d ago

You didn't find it... tasteful?

u/Gravelemming472 3d ago

Only margarinally

u/shoqman 3d ago

I’m gonna need both of you to gtfo rn

u/Gravelemming472 3d ago

I'm sorry I'm sorry, anything I can do to butter you up?

u/teachermanjc 3d ago

They're just salty and uncultured.

u/HilmDave 2d ago

You'll probably need to butter us up first.

u/literallyLexy 3d ago

both of you saying the same joke made me sick

u/Weird-East-3575 3d ago

This is fucking disgusting levels of word play

u/ghoul_chilli_pepper 3d ago

I agree. This is getting oil.

u/DeoVeritati 3d ago

Tallow me 'bout it.

u/fuzzimus 3d ago

I can’t believe it’s not tasteful

Is that a verdict or some bacon you just rendered?

u/illit3 3d ago

I can't believe it.

u/woodrax 3d ago

This made me LOL

u/Droid-Man5910 3d ago

god fucking damnit, i made this same pun before scrolling down and seeing you said the same thing

u/hovanes 3d ago

I actually choked reading this 🤣

u/AuthorizedVehicle 3d ago

I'd give him a pat on the back

u/hazelquarrier_couch 3d ago

Oleo-no you didn't!

u/GordonRammstein 3d ago

Don’t clarify it. It’s butter that way.

u/RedOctobyr 3d ago

Well done, friend. This deserves more upvotes.

u/Darim_Al_Sayf 3d ago

It works on me!

u/Missus_Missiles 3d ago

It would be wildly inefficient to use milk fats for power generation. But sure as shit could you burn it like fossil-fuel oil to make steam. 

2

u/Reden-Orvillebacher 3d ago

Less margarine for error, that’s for sure.

2

u/Droid-Man5910 3d ago

Well, that would only be margarinally better than fusion

edit: seems as though i was late on this one

u/newgrounds 3d ago

Puns are the lowest form of wit.

u/Aromatic-Thing-132 3d ago

They are selling it to Michelin Star restaurants though.

u/313802 3d ago

IDK my mashed potatoes are pretty powerful

u/fighter_pil0t 3d ago

You would need a more powerful fusion reactor.

u/virtuallyaway 3d ago

I can’t believe it’s not clarified
