Refs for Energy section<ref>begin ENERGY refs</ref><ref>there's some inconsistency here. A mix between sources of energy and forms of energy.  Sources may be: human, animal, wind, water, solar, etc.  Forms might be mechanical, thermal, electrical, light, etc.  We have human and wind under electrical, but windmills can be used for, yep, mills, or for pumping, with no electricity involved.  Solution?  A more complete subcategorization by energy form, or by source, or possibly both</ref><ref>"Power and energy" was the former name. 6 members</ref><br>

:[[:Category:Solar hotwater|Solar hotwater]]<ref>Even if, technically, there are thermal and nonthermal version of solar hotwater, Chris and I agree that "solar thermal" is overly pedantic and not natural.  In any case, choose the larger label that can include both thermal and non-thermal solar hotwater</ref> &bull; Thermal mass &bull; Thermodynamics
