Reply to Eli5: If we had steam powered trains back in the day, why didn’t steam become a common “clean” energy source? Why did it die out? by melatonin1212

Steam doesn't just appear. It has to be made by burning something.

Nuclear power plants are still just a complicated way to make steam.

Reply to LPT: If you call a company to speak to customer service but the automated menu won't let you talk to a real person, say "Upgrade my account" instead of "Refund" or "Cancel," when the automated menu asks you to state why you're calling. You will immediately be transferred to a real person by BigSpoonFullOfSnark

"Hi, you'd like to upgrade your account?"

"Actually, I wish to cancel it."

"Ah, back on hold for you, ya little grifting bastard."

Those cameras had better be pretty damned high resolution.

Reply to 3 power substations vandalized in Washington state, over 14K lost power by mexicorocks

About an hour ago heard a call on the scanner about a fire at a substation on the Orting-Kapowsin Highway out near Graham. Wonder if it's related.

EDIT: Apparently it is related to the others.
