    Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.

      • Solar panels: Direct sky-spiciness to electricity conversion
      • Wind: Sky-spiciness made the air move
      • Hydroelectric: Sky-spiciness lifted the water up, gravity brings it down
      • Fossil fuels: Really old stored sky-spiciness from ancient plants

      Fun fact. Coal plants release more radioactive materials than nuclear plants.]

      Except the ones that blew up. Those ones were extra spicy.

        Except, even then, an average coal plant will release more radioactive material over its lifetime than Fukushima did.

        It’s just Chernobyl that you have to top. And even then there are coal plants that come close.

        Now, it’s not apples to apples. Coal plants release uranium and thorium. Not ceasium and strontium.

        But yeah, never go swimming in a coal plant ash pit. For more than the obvious reasons.

          How many average coal plants per Chernobyl though. I suspect that number is surprising lower than the total number of coal plants.

      I mean, radioactive isotopes are formed in supernovae, so it’s really just solar power from a different sun, right?
