Acts says that they were speaking in the languages of the people listening.
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes...

I'd be interested to see molten salt nuclear reactors using abundant fuels like thorium taken seriously enough to run some significant sized test reactors. There was such a reactor in California in the 1960s-1970s.
I am inclined to think that I shall not outlive coal and probably not oil...
