A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

All renewable energy is fusion energy with a really round about way of collecting it (sh.itjust.works)

Fossil fuel would I guess be chemically stored fusion energy from a long time ago

Maybe tidal energy would also be an exception? It's from the motion of the moon, which is the result of ancient planetary collisions?

Ooh, yeah. Didn't even think of tidal energy. I don't think we get any significant amounts from it currently, but it's being actively developed.

I guess if we want to get super pedantic about it, it would also be fusion-assisted since without the sun's energy keeping the oceans in a liquid state, it would be frozen and unable to generate any power.
