  There are also some chemical modes of electricity generation (Alkalai batteries, etc). Also using flowing water to move Turbines like dams.

  But then the meme isn’t as fun here, and those are such a small minority of how we generate powers.

      And even then some solar works by boiling salt… Or water.

    You could maybe catch lightning and store it. That’s not boiling water … what’s that? It is boiling water?

      I wouldn’t be surprised, it it turns out, when the most efficient way to turn lightning into electricity, was to redirect it into a boiler, instead of harvesting it directly
