    To be fair, wind is also a form of solar power. (Wind being caused by the difference in heat between the different hemispheres/poles & the rotation of the earth)

    So wind & solar power are indirect & direct long-range nuclear energy sources, respectively.

          That comes from the energy from earth’s rotation. That energy is left over from the formation of the sun.

            Plus nuclear wouldn’t work without fissionable elements, which wouldn’t be here without supernovae aka dying suns.

              Which is why we need to finally develop fusion, to free us from the tyranny of power of stellar origin!

              …if you ignore the fact that fusion is basically replicating what a star does, that is
