You just stick a windmill in the way of some moving air, that's all. Anyone
can put one on their roof, if they really want to. I can buy one from B&Q
on my way home if I feel like it.

That's right. We just stick some water in the way of a few splitting atoms,
and the high-pressure steam produced spins the turbine. It's that easy.
Anyone can have a nuclear reactor in their kitchen. I could buy one from
B&Q on my way home if I feel like it.
