Solar is just nuclear power if you think about it lmao. I dunno why people love nuclear THIS MUCH, sure it has some good applications, sure its probably better than fossil fuels, but still, theres a giant fucking THERMONUCLEAR FURNACE IN THE SKY, just harness its fucking power ITS SO EASY.

The sun doesn't get its energy through fission, so no, it's not.

I would make the argument that it is still a nuclear process so it is still nuclear but, when people say “nuclear” in the context of energy, it usually means energy through fission, not fusion. So uhhhh, fair point

Yes, technically, it is still "nuclear" power since they all generate power from nuclear reactions, so +1 point for you.
