Dan the man. The guy.

Heavy metals in the water may be really bad for animals, e.g. the European oysters which are nearly extinct in the copper-rich (tiny particles) north Sea. We should care about everything we do to our planet. You don't have to care about everything yourself of course. But don't dismiss it as unimportant just because you don't have the energy to care.

..risk it!

Concentrated solar is measured in suns. So if I use a mirror or a lens of 2 m^2 area and direct this light on on a 1m^2 solar panel, people talk of in this case two suns reaching the solar panel. The panel still has a similar efficiency, but double the power output due to more light shining on it. I simplified a bit but thats the idea.

Type "concentrated solar" into an image search engine, it's fascinating!

Um where do you get those numbers from? Shockley–Queisser limit is 33% for single junctions, no?

Aye, there is a big difference between what's technically possible in the lab and what is viable for mass production.

The Shockley Quiesser theoretical limit for single junctions is at ~33%.

I don't think that's how nuclear fission works.

Also, 4x250 Watts will run your kettle but not a ship :P

irl a nuclear Generator has around 1 GW (1000MW). But 30MW is still about 6 Land based Wind turbines running at full load. It's a lot!
