There’s a reason we don’t use sunlight to sterilize surgical instruments.
Wait... Unless the sterilizer is solar powered, or used coal power, since coal is just compressed plant matter, which basically exists because of sunlight...
- GauntletWizard 6y agoYou can say the same of Wind and Hydro, and even Oil and Natural Gas are just compressed plant matter to a larger degree. Only Nuclear is truly sun-neutral energy.
- Khaine 6y agoWe basically do use sunlight. Medical instruments are sterilised with ultraviolet radiation, which is a component of sunlight.
