How does burning fuel of any kind turn solar energy into thermal energy?
All fuels (with the exception of nuclear fuels) were originally dependant on sunshine for their creation. Coal, gasoline, wood, peat, diesel. Nuclear fuels depend on the emission of neutrons from a radioactive substance, and the radioactive materials used all have primal (original) energy available in them. The temperature of the inner core of the Earth is about 5700oC, about the same as the surface of the Sun. This eventually gives us geothermal heat and geothermal energy. The inner core of the Earth is heated by radioactive decay of the heavy elements.
Why is there a shortage of energy when there is a great deal of energy around us?
Because you can't just use any type of energy. Some types of energy are totally useless; apart from that, some are simply easier to harvest than others.
