The year is 2289.

We know how Dyson spheres work

That star is just literally free energy

But we blew up a solar system and wiped out a developing race one time and we stopped using it.

Imagine if hunters had stopped using fire?!?

Fukushima showed us the truth, Nuclear Safety is incompatible with capitalism. I don't care to find out what other time bombs we build into future plants.

Also see: asbestos.

We never tried to figure out a way to safely regulate & use it. It's a magic workable material that can't burn and is durable af. That's amazing!?
