I don’t know why this is constantly criticized as a method of energy capture. Liquids allow for maximum surface area contact, creating more efficient heat transfer from the irradiated rods.

Armchair nuclear physicists should release an improved model before being so critical of the most effective and reliable method of energy generation we currently have.

I don't think it's a criticism? It's more about highlighting the slight absurdity of super-high tech power generation still using the same method that has been used since the very start of electricity generation. A turbine spun by evaporated water.

Hey now, sometimes it's a turbine spun by falling water!

Easy there future man.. One life-changing generation method per century

What about a turbine spun by the convection of evaporation from a large body of water being pulled toward a dry landmass?

That's madness

Behold...the future of green power. No steam or water needed at all!

Also an excellent workout, good for cardio.

Well seeing as any and all cells in our body are powered by something you could very reasonably call an electron/charge turbine I think it's fair to say turbines are really frickin great though!
