 Thermopiles are a great technology for long-term reliable supply of small 
amounts of power... as long as you're not inside the US, where you'll have a 
bit of trouble getting the necessary amount of "nuclear waste" to power one. 
(Can't go using up the "waste" for commercial purposes, or there will be no 
multi-billion-dollar Yucca mountain contracts.) Of course we could power 
thermopiles with dung fires, but this will add some moving parts (serfs).
