It can be used by solar panels to give a direct output of electric power.

Or it can be used to make plants by photosynthesis, which uses the Sun's energy to break down carbon dioxide into carbon which is used for the plant tissues, and gives off oxygen. The plants can then be burned, which produces energy to drive an electric generator, and gives off carbon dioxide.

When the plants have time to turn into coal or oil (100,000,000 years) that is caused a fossil fuel.
