    Using turbines is like the fking most common way to generate electricity ever,

    Except for solar, it’s the only way.

    And I swear solar is just photons spinning some tiny turbine and pushing electrons around. I know that’s wrong, but I’m believing it anyway.

      For a while, some solar power systems did just boil water and spin a turbine as well, by having mirrors that lasered a tower of molten salt. It’s only really recently that photovoltaics have become cheap enough to replace them.
