That comes from the energy from earth's rotation. That energy is left over from the formation of the sun.
Plus nuclear wouldn't work without fissionable elements, which wouldn't be here without supernovae aka dying suns.
Which is why we need to finally develop fusion, to free us from the tyranny of power of stellar origin!
...if you ignore the fact that fusion is basically replicating what a star does, that is
"Watch and dispair, oh mighty stars, how we have enslaved your children to release us from your tyranny!"
So nuclear power is not like solar at all….. it’s GALACTIC POWER! maybe COSMIC POWER!
I suppose it depends on the definition, but yeah - GALACTIC POWER
Sometimes even extragalactic
And you always need to say it in that booming overly enthusiastic voice. It works whether you’re a superhero or a supervillain
Left over from the formation of the solar system, not the sun.
Erm, the solar system formed because of the sun
Where do you think that solar accretion disk went to?
Erm, the sun was formed in the center of a nebula and the planets formed out of the remaining mass that didn't collapse into the sun. Yes, the gravity of the sun influenced how the remaining mass interacted and formed into planets with rotation, but it is not wholly a direct result of the sun itself, rather the angular momentum of the original nebula.
lol this is so pedantic it's mindbogglingly fun. I would argue you're confusing "gravitational effects" with what people are describing as "the sun's output from nuclear fusion".
