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

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.
