What about nuclear?
- guepe 6mo agoFuel was created by the explosion of supernovae, still solar but not our sun.
- pfdietz 6mo agoProbably neutron star collisions, actually.
- philipallstar 6mo agoIf it's not our sun then it isn't solar.
- triceratops 6mo agoPedantry I can get behind. Cheers

- Lambdanaut 6mo agoBy that logic, all of the Earth and the moon were once parts of stars, so tidal and geothermal are also solar. When people say "solar energy", they are usually referring to first order solar energy, directly from photons, not second or third order solar energy after it has been trapped into other sources of potential energy.
- eqvinox 6mo agoTidal kinda isn't solar since it's from rotation's and orbits' energies though.
- iso1631 6mo agotiny insignificant amounts
- leonidasrup 6mo agoUranium is only naturally formed by the r-process (rapid neutron capture) in supernovae and neutron star mergers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Origin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uranium#Origin
