It’s not a reach for CSP to be solar so it’s not for wind to be a form of solar power. CSP doesn’t use chlorophyll to create hydrocarbons thus has no association with solar power sources. Clearly you understand this distinction and are now backing out.
See, now that is a reach as the solar energy is first converted into chemical energy with fossil fuels while wind is thermal to kinetic just like CSP. Also, the wind is created by man made tech, global warming for instance is man made tech that increases the wind in some regions as well as heat islands, sky scrapers, forest clearing and turbulence from wind turbines themselves. The only real difference is scale, CSP is at small scale and wind is at large scale.
I don’t think CSP uses air like wind, pretty sure they generally use water. Also, we’re using man made tech to move wind turbines just like CSP. Hell, if we want to get into the weeds of it, photovoltaic panels are less solar than wind as they can only use a small wavelength of light to create electricity and hates too much thermal energy while wind uses all the heat energy that doesn’t escape.
Concentrated Solar Power is typically just called solar, the OG solar before photovoltaic got cheaper. Photovoltaic isn’t the only type of solar. It operates basically the same as wind, sun heats thing to move turbine.
Absolutely. Hell, I’d argue basically all the energy on the planet is nuclear.
But why is it solar if the sun heats molten salt to spin a turbine but it’s wind if the sun heats the earth’s mantle to move a turbine? Photovoltaic panels aren’t the only type of “solar” energy but they are one of the VERY few that don’t use a turbine of some sort.
No, it’s a reach to say something isn’t really applicable but it is literal cause and effect. It doesn’t fit the vibe, sure but it’s not a reach to say that wind is just solar energy, the energy that moves the wind is the sun. Just like if I said if I never eat I will starve it isn’t a reach but if I say I haven’t eaten so I will starve is a reach.
You might not like it but it is technically correct.
I might be mistaken here but I’m pretty sure the tide is lunar pull but the waves are formed by wind.
It’s really not a reach though, wind is created by the sun heating Earth. It’s a bit pedantic maybe but it’s not a reach, it’s direct cause and effect.
It’s not a reach to say something that is technically correct. To say something is a reach or a stretch is to imply it is not entirely true or is not precise. The sun literally powers the wind on earth, it is just as much a reach to call a penguin a bird.
Even though when polled most said they would vote for no other candidate.
We’re really not talking past eachother, you are deliberately being dishonest. In CSP is solar, wind is simply non concentrated solar. You responded with how that makes fossil fuels solar as if stored chemical energy over millennia is the exact same thing as the sun’s rays heating a fluid that very same day. There’s nothing to disengage from, it’s literally just the vibes for you on what a word means, it’s pretty common in green movements to see wind as a type of solar. Without the sun the wind will stop, we would have years of fossil fuels, geothermal, and nuclear power remaining.
