Hmm. Sun, oil, nuclear, um… maybe wind isn’t carcinogenic.
Wind is carcinogenic when it's blowing all the exhaust from vehicles and production plants your way! Yum!
Wind turbines reduce the blowing by the amount of energy they create minus the heat created by friction. I guess that could create stagnation smog which would be bad.
Edit: eventually it could slow down the moon and kill everything. eventually. suns likely to explode first.
Isn't wind caused by a combination of heat from the sun and the spinning of the planet? I think we'd have to cover a bonkers amount land with turbines before we saw an appreciable increase in stagnant air.
I was thinking all energy on earth (except nuclear?) comes from the sun. I suppose that there is some inertial energy from previous stars/big bang.
Yeah, elements heavier than iron, like uranium, only form in supernovas at the end of a star's lifespan. So, arguably still solar energy, just not our solar energy.
Good point. I never really thought about it but nuclear is probably the least renewable forms of energy. It all comes down to stars! Good luck figuring it all out fellow star stuff that got curious.
Water, although it has other impacts.
Different flavors of water power as well. Tidal (not really a functioning thing yet, but still), river dams, and geothermal.
