Nuclear energy can be used as a source of both power and heat, highly useful for industrial operations and to efficiently make hydrogen, used to make ammonia and fertilizer for crops. So, more nuclear, more food? It's possible: lsu.edu/blog/2025/11...

“We evolved from fishes. We do what we do, including breathing through lungs, having nostrils that fill those lungs, having arms and legs, and big brains, all of which came from our aquatic ancestors. So did kidneys, lungs, and being able to pee!”— @prosanta.bsky.social

Yes, fish pee just like humans. Learn more on how fish regulate their bodily fluids.
