Sunlight is the original source of all energy everywhere on Earth. Light energy from the Sun transforms to chemical potential energy through photosynthesis in autotrophs (plants). Then we eat the plants for the energy, or eat the animals that ate the plant, or eat the animals that ate the animals that ate the plant, or ate the animals that ate the animals....etc After they die, plants and animals also can turn into hydrocarbons (oil) and other forms of chemicals over long periods of time which we then use to generate electricity.
