Wind? winds are caused by weather patterns, which are caused by the sun, either through radiative heating or tidal forces. Solar? Also the sun. Hell, nearly every element in existence is the result of fusion in stars. Like coal and natural gas. Even chemical reactions in batteries are an indirect result of nuclear power.

minus-squareSpacetimeMachine@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·19 hours agoThat’s not really how energy works. If you want to be that pedantic then all energy comes from gravity, because gravity is required for stars to fuse hydrogen.

Burning a candle in microgravity is very different than on the surface of Earth
