My buddy was telling me that all a nuclear powered sub does is heat up water. This obviously creates steam. And the Sub is propelled by steam. That's all this awesome piece of technology does, boils water to create steam... He also told me that the only actually working energy that nuclear reactors give off is harnessed by those windmill looking propellars that you see sticking out of the ground. The thing is, this method is highly inefficient. It only harnesses about 10% of the actual energy from nuclear reactors. So that's 90% that is lost and never used. Some technology! He also told me that the some 80% of the energy from those wind propellars is actually the wind itself. And we always thought we were so big for making nukes!
