Energy Source Used

This dimension groups energy technologies by the energy source they actually harness. Wikipedia notes that variable renewable sources include "wind power and solar power," while controllable sources include "dammed hydroelectricity, bioenergy, or geothermal power," each requiring its own distinct technology. Browsing this way collects every technology built around the same source.
