  2. 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
  3. "Power and energy" was the former name. 6 members
  4. We have "electricity" as an existing category...what to do?
  5. Highlights the categorization problem. Need a "lighting" section
  6. Use the broader term, most are hydrogen anyway
  7. Subcategories may not be needed
  8. "Cooking" includes stoves and ovens, and consistent with policy, existing "Solar cooking" category, "heating" (not heaters) and "refrigeration" (not "refrigerators")
  9. This can also be done in the lower part of walls, right?
  10. 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
  11. Category:Biofuel already exists...
  12. IMHO, these subcategories shouldn't exist for a while...Just bundle the small number of articles under the "Fuel" or "Biofuel" category.
