Spin Thing Fast Nuclear Power

Text on the meme

Looking up power generation? I'll show you something interesting. The two types of power are "Spin Thing Fast" and "Radiation". All power falls into these two categories. Steam? Spin thing fast. Solar? Radiation. YEAH... Combustion engines? Spin thing fast. Radioisotope thermoelectric? Radiation. Despite involving radioactive sources, nuclear power is "spin thing fast".

What it means

A Calvin and Hobbes-style comic explains all power generation using only two categories: “spin thing fast” and “radiation.” The joke reduces steam, solar, combustion, and nuclear power to absurdly simple explanations, making it a reaction to overly simplistic technical reasoning.
