  Yes. Water + spicy rocks. Everything else is solar power, which is also nuclear power, but with the spiciness in the sky instead.

    • Solar panels: Direct sky-spiciness to electricity conversion
    • Wind: Sky-spiciness made the air move
    • Hydroelectric: Sky-spiciness lifted the water up, gravity brings it down
    • Fossil fuels: Really old stored sky-spiciness from ancient plants

    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!

  Not spicy. Everyone knows nuclear power is lemon-lime flavored.

    Taste: slightly metallic, not great, not terrible.

        The best part of this game is that this conspiracy theory is incorrect. Fema killing Americans, illuminati, majestic 7, area 51: all real. Workplace persecution for a distrusted wounded war veteran?: crazed paranoia

  Most power generation is just steam spinning turbines. Solar’s just weird. Wind cuts out the steam loop.

    Reflective solar is normal at least. But photovoltaics are weird. Even weirder is that they’re LEDs backwards, and the fact that transistors just are like that is why they’re encased in black plastic

  That’s not a spicy challenge id be willing to try.
