It’s all gravity in the end. Or probably middle but I don’t know why gravity, so that’s as far as I can reduce it.
Everything we see around us is just hydrogen trying to get closer to the middle of the biggest hydrogen party it can find in the general vicinity. And we were all once part of at least one massive party that eventually got a bit out of hand when we all tried to get so close together we bounced off of a neutron star before it collapsed into a black hole.
Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.
Nuclear: the sky spiciness got too spicy and turned into spicy rocks
Geothermal?
A lot of that heat comes from decay of radioactive isotopes deep in the Earth. Still spicy rocks.
Geothermal: Incredibly old sky-spiciness from far, far away that Earth collected to slowly release.
And ultimately just used to heat water.
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?

it’s spicy rocks all the way down.
All power is nuclear power when you keep digging, whether rocks come into play or not!
