by burning the fuel to heat water to make steam to turn a turbine to rotate a magnet about a coil (or a coil about a magnet) to make electricity.
Fossil fuels release energy as the result of ignition.
When fossil fuels are burned, they release energy stored years ago.
fuels are burned to release the chemical energy
Fossil fuel are burnt to release HEAT
the energy that is in fossil fuels is chemical and radiant energy.
Fossil fuels can be burned to release the potential chemical energy stored millions of years ago.The process of burning fuels is called Combustion.

No. Fossil fuels store chemical energy. It is this chemical energy we tap by using them for fuels.
Fossil Fuels =)
Fossil fuels contain the chemical energy that plants and algae obtained from sunlight and then stored in sugars. Just as energy chemical energy is stored in sugars, chemical energy is stored in fossil fuels. All it takes to release it is enough heat and oxygen to cause the fuel to burn.
Nuclear energy does not come from fossil fuels
No. Alternative energy means energy sources other than fossil fuels.
