What is worst is that if we look deeper, we find out that everything is just turning the mill

The only advance would be solar that was capable of not using a mill that have to turn.... Everything else? Just a fucking mill

We rotate around the sun, though

Solar and batteries (chemical). If we could harness lightening then that's come without mechanical energy as well. There's biological energy as well, we don't have a way to extract it directly as electricity but it exists

Mechanical and heat is just the most common way to get electricity for us at the moment.
