For what it's worth (not much) EVERY form of energy we use is Solar (or at
least, stellar, as some has been routed via other stars than our own). For
starters one can include of Hydro, "Fossil" (Coal, Petroleum), Nuclear,
Wind, Wave, Trees, Biomass, Geothermal. I'm sure one could make a much
longer list.

In some cases the chain from star to you is much longer than in others.
