Hydroelectric primer is actually solar energy. Sun evaporated water.. Which then rains too full the damn, then gravity does is job.. But it all starts with solar.. Freaking epic. And they called the Aztecs crazy for venerating the sun. Better than am imaginary friend I'll tell you what.

All energy except nuclear is technically solar energy...

All the heavy metals (including uranium) came from stars exploding in some form. So it's all from a sun (even if it's not ours)

Alternatively, the sun is a huge fusion furnace, so all energy is nuclear

We did it, lemmy, we discovered net positive fusion!

Solar in the definition of “of our star, Sol”…sure. But all energy is celestial in origin.
