   Right back at you.  Your own definition of solar power makes   
   the whole conversation useless.  Accepting your definition from   
   another post, if a "secondary conversion" of solar energy as a   
   primary source is still solar energy, then there is NO energy   
   source on the planet that is not solar energy.
