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.

A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
