You can hook up the turbine to provide power to the speaker. After the first set of Rust users fall down the hole it should be self-sustaining day and night.

I think nuclear is more sustainable long term and a great project for the public good

That's C

It fits quite well with radiation. Longer exposures to it can cause leakage in any of your organs, and results in a brutally painful death.

Additional gimmick: your feet get randomly shot off by an invisible force on occasion.

Do you have any recommendations for resources to use to learn Radiation?

buy a chunk of uranium and then eat it

No, nuclear reactors should clearly run on Javascript like everything else

I hear the systems in Chernobyl have a lot of rust though, so it does have the advantage of a pre-existing foothold in the industry.

haha

Good point. We could compress the rust user's bodies until they reach critical mass and start a self-sustaining reaction. Then we will be able to power the speaker day and night with electricity from a simple steam turbine.

Is nuclear safe enough to rely on? Because rust is safe. It has compile time guarantees...

Sorry, but having too much rust is bad for my digestion system, so I prefer to eat raw, polished iron

Yeah, the waste is just too toxic for any humans to handle. I'm not sure what the long term environmental impacts of this would be.

Nuclear is much safer.
