  • 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

Nuclear: the sky spiciness got too spicy and turned into spicy rocks

Geothermal: Incredibly old sky-spiciness from far, far away that Earth collected to slowly release.

And ultimately just used to heat water.

A lot of that heat comes from decay of radioactive isotopes deep in the Earth. Still spicy rocks.
