Combined with 'generator:method=fission' you have to add 'uranium_235'.
If change the whole system, please add 'wood', 'wood_pellet',
'diesel', 'crude_oil'.

 
I thought about that for values like "biomass" and "biofuel". Again, it is perhaps getting more detailed than we need in OSM. After all, "wood" could be broken down into any number of sources such as "coppiced_FSC_wood" and "waste_municipal_tree_cuttings" :-)

The problem is that diesel and gasoline do not fit in any of the other documented categories, yet both are commonly used for backup generators. If people are to tag those (perhaps important in countries without a stable electric grid), they will vastly outnumber all the other fuel sources. Is there any objection to my adding generator:source=diesel and generator:source=gasoline to the documentation?
